If we suddenly see France, Germany and Russian dissolving the Iraqi debts, dropping the bans on Iraqi Oil production and sales, and other concrete signs, you will be proven right.

Also, these countries will be told any misbehavior in the rest of this century, the pictures, paper work and maybe actual WMD's will be shown to the world. That is like the 800 FBI Files the Clintoons had on key American congressits and others.

Also, security wise, if we find anything that is really dangerous, we are not going to announce to it the whole world, al Qaeda and other Islamofacist Terrorists thugs.

I think we saw part of it today with France calling for a suspending of the sanctions.

I'm not sure you will see a total forgiveness of all debt but a restructuring of payments. With payments delayed till production and infrastructure is rebuilt would go a long way towards getting Iraq on track. The side benefit of this would be that if some group(Shia) wants to take over right away they would be looking at a large debt they would have to contend with.

The forgiveness of the total debt would be a death blow to the governments of France, Germany and Russia. It may be what we would like to see but would cost more in the long run. It serves a lot more interests to have in place government that have learned a lesson than to have to teach it again.

Well, we are already seeing France enthusiastically calling for lifting of the UN sanctions, when just a few days ago they were vehemently opposed...
