Our national debt is mostly owned by Americans themselves. You are correct that the conditions are quite different than the forties, but there is one thing that is the same: American's resiliency. As much as we hate the top, we want to stay there.

There needs to be more realism around here and less of the delusion as above.

Where are you from and why do you think you owe America a damn thing?
None of us owe America anything. They have had their time in the sun. And they wasted it. The future is in the East.
I'm from Germany.
We owe to the allied forces (including the U.S.) because they freed our nation from the yoke of Nazi and Communist totalitarianism.
My family quite frankly owe them their lifes because they were politically persecuted during the NS regime.
We were only able to develop the excellent political system we have today because of them.
Other european nations owe them even more for the same reasons IMO.edit on 2-6-2012 by ColCurious because: (no reason given)
you are a typical yank worshiping german. stop watching mtv and get with the program. russia and britain defeated the nazis, and we owe the americans nothing
americans are the only nation to sell their drowning friends a rope. if i was stuck in a swamp and my friend sold me a rope i would punch him in the face straight afterwards. europe should punch america in the face
they let their allies, including britain, be brought to their knees, so that they could take our economic power and influence.
america while helping europe was plotting against and trying to destroy the allied nations.
everybody who reads a book knows this happened. america used world war 2 to take down the european super powers and position themselves as the super power.
it's disgusting, that's why nobody except germans will thank them. because we're not brainwashed like germany.
I guess you are completely ignorant of what happened back then. You ever heard of the Marshall Plan or the fact that after we toppled the authoritarian leadership of Japan they experienced miraculous economic growth because of American born libertarian and democratic ideologies.
You are so silly, you don't even know what your own government are doing.
thank you for your debt, that is just what we needed. could have joined earlier
but no, you did just what i said you did. you waited until we were crushed so you could hijack our economy with your "aid"
everybody knows there is no such thing as american aid, only economic poison

Instead of trying to insult and down play the importance of the United States, a simple thank you and be on your way is sufficient enough.
thankyou for what?
I didnt click the link but is it nazi stuff? because I covered that already in the OP.
We are not scared and we owe you nothing.
You did not win WW2.
