Buying the Airbus aircraft was a very American thing to do... making the best business decision regardless of national origin and other nonsense. AA is a business, not an arm of the United Nations. I think the same way when buying flights. I don't care what country's metal (or composites) I'm flying, as long I'm getting the best bang for my buck on the flight (factoring in price, AAdvantage, schedule, amenities, etc.).
