First, this is not American alphabet, but Latin alphabet, used by most
of European languages as well as by Indonesian, Swahili, Vietnamese
etc.

Second, there is no need to force an open door (незачем ломиться в
открытую дверь). The creators of lojban have already provided for
possibilities to use alternative alphabets, including Cyrillic, see
    http://lojban.org/publications/reference_grammar/chapter3.html#s12
Theodor Reer has already demonstrated a sample in his reply. The
Cyrillic orthography have not seen much usage yet mainly because of
the lack of sufficiently many Russian, or Bulgarian users.

There are adaptations of other writing systems to lojban as well.

Please calm down. Lojban is not another conspiracy of evil Americans
aiming to take over the world. Having read lojban mailing list for
about 10 years I have never seen anything even remotely close to
english-language chauvinism. The lojban community is very diverse ---
see the recent thread "Hello list [introduction]" with the list of
countries represented in the mailing list. The cultural pluralism has
been present in the project from the very beginning: in the approach
to the construction of the vocabulary, of the phonology etc.
