abcwarrior you are obviously wet behind the ears, i suppose when you get to XYZWARRIOR you will have a lot more experience, however lets get one thing straight, the Yanks were sitting on the fence coining it in, its only in the last few years that the UK cleared the debt owed from the war effort, so why if they were making so much money would they want to actually go to war themselves? please base your answer on fact and historic events, NOT what you heard down the pub!
