i dont think it is anti american, it is anti bush.
bush is too far on the right wing for europeans (in germany he would stood no chance in elections), I don't compare him to Hitler he is certanly not that extreme, but some of his viewpoints and decisions seem like a step in direction we tried some time ago, especially here in germany a lot of people are very suspicious about right wing tendencies.
we fail a bit to understand why half of america sees this guy as a good president.

a nice article about the difference between europe and the usa is here
