MBA Abroad?

A couple of weeks ago I posted this article to the Web site and I've been thinking about it a bit since then:

More U.S. students go abroad for their MBAs

It certainly does sound like an attractive option, both for the duration and the international experience. While one of the reasons I am pursuing an MBA is to make my resume more attractive in the international market, I hadn't really considered this option (though I do plan to take advantage of one of the short study trips abroad offered by my school if I can).

Personally, I think that in today's global marketplace the overseas experience would add a valuable dimension to a person's qualifications. But the comments at the bottom of the article (many of them quite vitriolic) made me wonder - how do U.S. employers perceive an international MBA?
