I crossed into Mauritania the end of last year, with an American in tow. They didn't bat an eyelid; I'm on an Irish passport with plenty of US stamps. The American was very coy about declaring himself American to those he met; the only person that was openly 'anti' American (& British to some extent) was an Iraqi guy - Ali who owns two restaurants in Nouakchott one almost opposite Auberge des Nomades (excellent place!) - spent an interesting Christmas day chatting to him about the war etc!
