When Europe was at war, America spent it's money and sent it's boys over to die. When America was attacked, people the world over said "America deserved it." or "This is what America gets for it's policies". How many troops did X send to help the US in Afghanistan?

Do many Americans feel this way? Yes. The 1940s was long ago - but not long enough that some of those that fought still aren't alive. I imagine another generation or so and the debt will expire unpaid and forgotten -- errr -- unless you count what Nokia has added to the US economy ;-)

I get it. So another generation in AMERICA, not Europe. Maybe people will acquire a new view of the surrounding world in Europe faster than in America. Americans, according to you, feel that Europeans owe Americans something because of ww2. Europeans don't feel they owe anymore. See? Europeans.. slightly faster? it's been only.. what .. 60 years soon.
Of course we could debate whether Europeans still SHOULD owe Americans something because of ww2, but in that case my question, that should I support neonazi movement because nazis helped Finns in ww2, holds.
