The SPIEGEL photos I linked below show a lot of black fans - but it is hard to tell whether they are Americans or not.

Yes, I was looking at them (from a link in a dkos diary) & that's what got me thinking!

Looking at the Diary on Kos about the big Berlin party much of the attitude doea appear to be "OH MY GOD they're waving American flags, they do love us"

but if you are going to have a diary called They're waving American flags... then it would be better to have a picture with more flags in as your first major graphic in the story. Its wielder looks rather lonely in that crowd.

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

Bernhard of Moon of Alabama estimated that one quarter of the crowd were Americans.

Then again, there is also the story that Obama requested a ban on placards and such.

BTW, they have the McCain man in the BBC's photos of the event.
