A lot of nations who loaned money to Saddam, or who gave him stuff on credit, are going to try to collect from post-Saddam Iraq, and the potential bill is immense. For the moment those suits are on hold because of a limited-time protection passed by the UN Security Council. (heh) but that protection is going to run out soon, and you can bet the Russians and French and a few others are going to be lining up to try to take their pound of flesh. It'll be interesting to see how that plays out. Needless to say, my opinion is that the Russians et. al. should get stuffed, and eat their loss.
