Why not? Do you think Germany paying restitution long after WWII set a precedent that applies to you?
Do you just fear acknowledging the wrongs of the past?

Fun facts:
We finished paying off our World War 1 reparation debt in 2010.
Although we're going to pay Namibia 1.1 billion, although those are explictely not reparations officially, because we also don't want to set a precedent on the matter.
(and needless to say we're still actively paying for the Holocaust)
