I didn't see the United States drop the loans Europe had to pay it following the Second World War. Those monies were owed to the US. Iraq, regardless of what generation is governing it, still owed Kuwait reparations from an unjust war that decimated Kuwait's economy and social progression. ON the cusp of women suffrage, Kuwait naturally reverted to conservative thoughts after the War (like any nation would after being invaded) and kept the socially progressive reforms on hold. That was only one part of Kuwait that remained stagnant after the War.
Check your facts; appeal to logic and reason, not your sympathies. If you wish to empathize with the Iraqis I hope you empathize with all debt-ridden nations that still pay off their debts and understand the effects of "dropping debt" on a sovereign's international trust.
