		<description>To David Ramos: how can you be so blind. Your allegation about the USA never having invaded another country is completley insane. And don&#039;t start bothering me with 911 (in which iraq had nothing to do, BTW), gulf of Tonkin, or even pearl harbour. These were all either set-ups or very convenient excuses for ... invading a country.
You claim that americans have fought 2 wars for their allies. That is true, though only partially. The bulk of casualties and damage were on the European side, particularly the Russian side. As for never having paid the USA back: we paid back at least a tenfold of our dues, if not more. Think only about Nixon closing the gold window in the early 70&#039;s.
As for poor Europe as I see it now: it is incredibly naive to think of the USA as its &quot;friend&quot;. Because ultimately, in order to preserve its supremacy, the American empire will not hesitate to sacrifice up to its last ... European (or any other &quot;ally&quot;).</description>

		<description>Lets see - how many countries has the US invaded?  None - thats right none.  Even the current war was a response to a terrible event (BY OTHERS) - just like pearl harbor - it was 911 in case everyone has forgotten.  Even Vietnam was a response for help - albeit a misguided one.

Fascism - the definition has become so twisted by todays liberals that it was lost its original meaning and understanding (Italy WWII).  2 aspects of fascism that are now lost - is that it hated democracy - and co-opted the press to advance its nationalistic view.  Just look at the &quot;we need no further debate&quot; mantra over today&#039;s issues and how the &quot;press&quot; has been co-opted to repeat the &quot;mantra&quot;.  I called it &quot;liberal modern day fascism&quot;.

The dollar?  All currencies may one day be worthless.  But one thing is for sure - the good old US of A - has fought 2 world wars on behalf of its &quot;friends&quot; - and the debt incurred by us - the US was never &quot;repaid&quot;.  And in today&#039;s dollars - I think it would go along way towards this virtual imbalance that many would like to propose.  What ever &quot;currency&quot; you wish to replace the dollar with - that country or group of countries should &quot;donate&quot; and &quot;provide&quot; aid like the USA has done and continues to do.  Likewise - they can take up the &quot;payment&quot; for the protection of the World.      And what recent evidence to we have of such - lets see - the Spain Train bombings, and the London Subway bombings - not much.  So when the next great world war comes - just remember who came to the rescue - with its dollars and blood - the good ol USA.

		<description>Thank you very much for this article, it was very enlightening. I am interested in global history of the 20th century, and this article has opened up new knowledge to connect with my current topic (cold war). 

Like you say, most people have no idea where money comes from, but even worse is that most people do not know of articles covering these issues. What you are doing is very good in my opinion (ofcourse viewing the article with a small degree of criticism, as is necessary).

Expanding the pirate fight past the narrower idelogical aims is also important, as most people forget the fact that we are living in a world where everything depends on everything, if I am expressing myself right.</description>
