Go to http://us.battle.net/en/ and register an account (make sure you set your loc to US or a location that isn't specific to eu.battle.net)
While logged in go to http://us.battle.net/wow/en/ (make sure it's us.battle.net not eu.battle.net) and get the trial (if you haven't already got us expansions).
Next once you've added the trial you should be able to download the US client and connect to US servers.
If you'd like to get expansions after you play the trial then you need to update the expansions digitally (again via us wow shop otherwise it'll give you eu auth code instead of us).

As for gametime http://us.blizzard.com/store/details.xml?id=110000004, the expansions http://us.blizzard.com/store/browse.xml?f=f:1
After you have the game installed go to C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\Data\enUS (idk where to go for unix user but i'd say it would be the same play only in wine) and open the file realmlist.wtf w/notepad or any word processing tool. You need to make sure the contents of that file are set to US servers http://img195.imageshack.us/f/realmlistl.jpg/.
If your scenario is you've already got an account and expansions or trial and you just want to connect to US servers, just following the last step should work too. (Haven't tested it but pretty sure it should work if that's your situation, if it doesn't just uninstall your eu wow and download us content)

If you need any more help, feel free to ask.
