Yes, it does. Take, for example, Third World debt. I think we ought to be forgiving Third World debt under certain conditions. I think, for example, if we're convinced that a Third World country that's got a lot of debt would reform itself, that the money wouldn't go into the hands of a few but would go to help people, I think it makes sense for us to use our wealth in that way, or to trade debt for valuable rain forest lands, makes that much sense, yes.
The third world country would be indebted to us forever if they can't pay it back.
There is no telling if the third world country would be indebted to us forever if they could not repay back the money. I'm not sure how our leaders deal with things like that.
