In the Navy, whenever we disembarked at a foreign port, we were always told that we are representatives of the United States, and to behave accordingly. We seldom did, but regardless, Naldo has a valid point.
It's one thing to stand in opposition to our Government here at home. We not only have the right to do so, we have an obligation. The People were meant to be the ultimate check and balance of the Government.
However, when one is abroad, things change. Regardless of your personal objections, you don't do what she did. I'm not saying she should advocate Bush, his administration, or his unconstitutional war, but I am saying you don't openly denounce it on a public forum. Not unless you are planning on changing your citizenship.
