Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz: "France, Germany and Russia should write off money lent to the dictator to buy weapons and to build palaces."

This statement is a radical departure from the previous U.S. position on developing countries' debt. In the past, U.S. administrations held that it was very important that developing nations be forced to repay money lent to such dictators as Ferdinand Marcos in the Philippines, Mobutu in Zaire (now the Congo) or the Duvalier family in Haiti.
