I don't know the exact scenario in Croatia or Brazil;
In general, writing off loans sets a bad precedent. People would again take loans, and will want the Govt. to bail them out. I have seen these things happen in India. There were cases people took loans and were waiting for the next election, to get their loans waived off.

I have read your comments on this thread. Seems like you found a nice way to disguise your Anti-Hindu venting by packaging it as something barely relevant to this thread.
Very nice progress made from the original topic:
Tim Cook says I'm gay -> it's difficult to be Gay in India -> It's not just Indian Muslims who are Anti-Gay, and by the way Indian (or is it Hindu?) society has lot of other faults -> Hindu rulers had fought wars, and some other thing about Hinduism is dishonest

This is about one Foundation and how it was used as vehicle by CIA to launder money into other countries as "Aid to Developing nations", and achieve its political ends.

The CIA had been laundering its funds for dozens of organizations and events, and the foundation served as one of its main fronts.
If you look around you will find a lot of such covert channels.
