This is a rather diverse group.  Like you -- many of us 
reside in Tokyo only via the TLUG, but obviously have an 
interest in Japan.  I expect that most -- maybe not all -- 
replying on subjects regarding US politics are US citizens. 
 And the rest -- this is obviously an informed group, and 
all the world for better or worse is affected by US politics.

Personally I enjoy the political chatter.
