Google automatically redirects you to the site pertaining to the country it thinks you are in, taking it's info from your IP. You can set it to send you to another country and it holds that info in a cookie. So there are three probable causes:

1. Your ISP is using a foreign IP address.
2. Some other cookie on your machine is either deliberately or accidentally confusing Google into thinking it is their cookie.
3. Are you using any 'anonymous' type software to hide your tracks that may be confusing Google?

The best answer I can think of is go to Google (whichever site it sends you to) and set your preferences for the US site (or whichever one you want) and hopefully the genuine Google cookie will override everything else.
