24. I would DEFINITELY say something
But then I'm not an American.

I would start by pointing out that it's not the American people, but the Republican people that should be the target of...er.. well, the anti-American remarks (not specified by the original poster exactly what that implies).
But, hey--this is seldom a topic in Europe, and occurence of genuine unfriendlyness towards Americans is much exaggregated by Americans visiting, expecting to be bashed.

The Europeans knows where the buck stops: Bush & company.
I'd say the European stance is much like the Canadian stance: the internal struggle in the US is very visible these days, and we just wish you to get things sorted out.

I'll drag that old goodwill deficit up again:

Look at the numbers for those that says negative impression is mostly Bush-related.
