We had to give it all back after WW2 because the country was flat broke, the war realy crippled us.
I recently saw a documentry about this on tv, we where so close to complete financial collapse right up untill the end of the 50's. Infact we have only just recently finished repaying the U.S. for all the lend lease and other aid we received during the war.
Oh and the OP funny as hell :rotfl: (wonder what Bush would do if he saw it? Anyone got his email?)
