I think I'm going to play the "since there is no gold standard, what is money?" card.
Our government is not in some sort of fiscal crisis, Bush has not had to request monetary aid from a foreign source nor has economic inflation reached rapid states as it normally would in a different country. Our government is designed to handle massive amounts of debt.
Anyway, money does not really matter to the country telling the world what money is. Without America, the global economy would not be as massive, corrupt or rich as it is today. We'll be able to maintain a war of this scale until the day we're all eaten by mutant radioactive dinosaurs from Mars on orders from the Easter Bunny... Oh, wait, that's currently whats going on in the White House.
