Nielsen talks about eye tracking studies and appears to make the argument that the menu should be on the left because of the way we (westerners) read.

For languages that read in the opposite direction, the guideline is reversed: you should right-justify the menu. In either case, the point is to make it easier for users to scan down the side on which they start reading.)
