Putting the reparations on Germany was a factor to the rise of Hitler LOL funny that a war that was necessary was in part started because of a war that should never have even happened.

And this is why I believe the US should be more isolationist. We break are backs to "do the right thing" expecting to get back good things in return. But the more we try to "do the right thing," the more people hate us for it. We just need to let the world deal with itself and worry about our own affairs first. On the flip side, no matter how much any country may hate the US, they are obligated to pay back any debt they have to them. Just cause you don't like someone, doesn't mean you can say "Oh ya, all that money you gave us...we aren't giving it back just because we don't like you."

Btw, Shane, Germany is paying back it's debt slowly. If you don't recall, there was a big deal made over them paying off their debts from the first World War. It may be slow, but at least they are paying them back.


You went into Iraq on a mission of revenge. Iraq has no debt to you. It wasn't there bombs blowing **** up. Don't make out like it was done out of the goodness of your heart or you did it for the benefit of the world cause that's *******. It was payback. Pure and simple. You'd not have bothered if it wasn't for 9/11. Neither would the UK or any other western country. Cause if it don't effect us it don't matter.

Notice how "do the right thing" is in quotes. I'm not saying we did the right thing. I don't agree myself it was the right thing. And you are certainly entitled to hold your opinion Creepy on why it was done. But take it easy and actually read what I'm saying. The right or wrong of the decision is irrelevant. The issue is paying back something that was lent to you. I think it's fair to ask Iraq back for the funds. And since neither of you are from the US (meaning you aren't taxpayers, meaning your money isn't being lent to Iraq but mine is), then I don't see how you would have any stake in this argument at all. Maybe you don't care if they pay back the money to the US, but I do, cause it's my money being spent, not yours. :wink:

We got rid of Hussein and made the country a democracy. Yes, they should pay. But if they do pay Obama better spend it on getting rid of the deficit instead of more Stimulus or dome garbage.

What are you even talking about? The UK had the second largest force in Iraq/Afghan. That's *my* money being spent. Lets not forget all the other countries that was involved as well. We've ***** away money as well.

This isn't WW2 and Germany. The German people elected a nutter into power, supported the lunatics war and was perfecty happy to try and take over the world until it started going **** up. So they should have to pay. The people in Iraq however had no say on the guy in charge cause they'd get a bullet in there head for it. They had NO control over 9/11 or the terrorist group in question and they certainly did not ask you to come into there country and **** it up.

Oh and lol @ making it into a democracy. I bet that's what they tell you. Still full of scum in power, still taking bribes and the moment the forces pull out it'll be a mess. You've done nothing but **** away money. We all have.

No one said no one else has lost money by being there, esp. the UK. But I think it's fair to say the US has spent far more money and committed more resources than any other country involved in Iraq. I doubt all the countries put together who were involved spent anywhere close to what the US has. The UK's war debt isn't even comparable. Our investment has been much greater.

You're also a much wealthier, much larger country. It balances out.

Do you not pay attention to the outside world? The economy is in the *******. If any country fails you'll see big probems world wide. That's why the UK and Germany and others are bailing out Euro countries. Who are also in debt. Because every country is in debt.

Don't think yourself so important. Your war debt is your own. You started it when you blamed an entire country for a terrorist organization. Good luck getting Iraq to pay you back. You're more likely to get another plane flown at you for your arrogance.

I do think we are the most important economy in the world besides China. If a little country like Greece is causing this much problems, if the US goes under, it will crush the world economy more than any country would... The US is the largest importer of foreign goods. Only thing that imports more is the EU, which isnt the same. So using logic if the county that buys the most from other companies goes under or doesnt have money to buy things, thats the worst thing that can happen.

Yeah, American ignorance caused 9/11, not radical Muslim terrorists.

American ignorance caused the terrorists to come in the first place, and the US economy is not as huge and important as you think.

He has a good point, Creepy. I can't tell if you are being sarcastic about the last part or not, Ranging God, but yes.

Yes, but it MIGHT start off a domino effect.

complete sarcasm. The reason they attacked us is because the West being successful is not what Islam says should happen. According to Islam, Islamic countries are suppose to be the more prosperous in the world, which is not the case.

You would think your the most important thing on this planet. China is up above you. Europe is up above you. You meantioned both but apparently Europe isn't the same thing. Er what? If one Euro country fails it creates a domino effect and they all drop. They use the same currency. With the exception of England. The Irish was stupid enough to take it on. 7 billion English pounds went there way for that one. We're sending money to bail greece out again as well. Not because greece is important but because Europe is important. Really the UK giving money to greece is saving the world and thus your ***. Give me money. I don't see America leaping up to help.

So if we're going to have this pointless, petty, stupid discussion on eco importance lets go China>Europe>America. And you'll soon find yourself bumped down further as more countries step up.

Why do you suppose those muslims flew planes into your buildings? What is it they teach you over there?

:lol: Oh.

I thought it was because of your mighty world wide fast food chains? There jealous! Your partly right i suppose. It is because of the success that the western world has. The truth of the matter is however the only reason we have that success is because lot of western countries take advantage of these crappy third world countries to benefit ourselves.

See the people in charge are no doubt raving lunatics. But there able to recruit people into there organization because of ******* like this idiot who for whatever reason has a voice in your country.

I mean you can't be that blinded to not see this from there point of view. IMAGINE the arrogance of invading a country. Killing thousands upon thousands of innocent people, women, children, fathers, brothers. AND THEN! THEN you turn around and ask them to pay for it. What sort of a moron suggests such a thing. If you invaded MY country and did such a thing I'd be looking for revenge at any cost. You guys make it real easy for the taliban and such to recruit members with crap like this. Cause it pretty much proves what there saying as true. Western countries are arrogant, they do take advantage and deliberately try to keep power and keep countries like Iraq supressed.

Also I'll snap you back to reality. Your eco isn't going to fail because of Iraq. It'll fail because of your countries incompetence if anything because it's got idiots in power who suggest such retarded things.

Out economy is most important. We own the reserve currency known as the DOLLAR. If our dollar collapses bad news for everyone.

Which it did. The Canadian dollar is worth more. The Euro and Pound have been worth more for as long as I can remember.
I think AUS$ is above USD now too.
