Russia has been forgiven some debt - but is still making scheduled payments.
Britain also had middle-eastern oil facilities nationalised (notably Iran/Iraq) - but was compensated for its losses.

I had no idea that US companies did not get an equally fair settlement. Thanks for letting me know (you learn something new every day).

But I am curious to know what you think about Iraq's war reparations debts to Kuwait? There is *still* a LOT of money owed to Kuwait - do you think that this debt be 'forgiven' too? It's a rather sensitive issue...
