I'm all for dropping debts to the USA that the USSR ran up... but, somehow, I am doubtful we loaned our cold-war enemies all that much. I could be wrong, so feel free to enlighten me if you know better.
On the other hand, we have loaned a buttload of relief money to RUSSIA...

There was something. Like 17-20 blns.
So Russia will benefit if those debts will be dropped and gladly will drop Iraq debt too.

Gosh, I hope you meant to say boatload.
