Ditch these contracts. Contracts made by Saddam's criminal regime aren't enforceable and Iraqis should not be obligated. The greedy people who made the pact with the devil should forfeit their interests.

<Russia, which is owed billions of dollars by Iraq for past arms deliveries, has a strong interest in Iraqi oil development. This includes a $3.7 billion, 23-year deal to rehabilitate Iraqi oilfields, particularly the 11-15 billion barrel West Qurna field (located west of Basra near the Rumaila field). >

Bad luck about the debts to Russia. Iraqi families don't owe it. Saddam does. Good luck collecting from him.
