lmao.

A group of Saudis plan to sue the U.S. government and media organizations for the alleged psychological and financial damage they suffered in the aftermath of September 11, their lawyer said on Wednesday. "Tens of Saudi nationals seriously plan to file lawsuits against U.S. government, civil and media entities, the majority of whom are students who had been attending American universities and were forced to leave," Saudi lawyer Katib al-Shamri said.

They have more standing then the people in America trying to sue them for 1 Trillion Dollers(2.3 BILLION a head for each memeber of the law-suit NTM Lawyer fees)

Yeah, unfortunately I can see their point. I think that Saudi Arabia has been unfairly blamed for the actions of a few of its citizens, but I really don't think it a good idea for the Saudis to be suing. If anything, it is likely to perpetuate the conflict. I don't think this is the right thing to be doing. For either side.

I also disagree with some parts of the trillion dollar lawsuit, which appears to have been made because someone needs to be responsible, and a billion is too little.

This is rather like a car theif injuring himself while trying to steal a car and suing the car owner for damages.

What BS.

this suit is a joke. Foriegners are hear at the pleasure of the US government. Since they are not citizens, They can be removed by the government at any time for any reason. You don't like our removal policies, don't come in the first place. Last time I checked the constitution, it didn't say foriegners have the inalienable right to be here. It would appear that the founders intended to give the Federal government broad powers to regulate the traffic of non citizens.

If this works, I'm suing every country on Earth because widespread anti-Americanism has caused me psychological damage (especially when anti-American foreigners fly airplanes into skyscrapers and the like). Fuck the Saudis, their lawsuit, and their lawyers. No, scratch that. Double fuck their lawyers. With heated instruments, if at all possible.

Reperations for what? They fund just about all the Arab ism in the world. It's not like they're going to get their trillion dollars back.

What ever they win, they are welcome to in the form of Mk84 and BLU-109 bombs with attached guidance kits, delivered from 15,000 feet in a shallow dive..

Poor babies.

The A-Rabs sure hate us here in "Great Satan". But they sure do like the green of our money. Without America the oil trillionares would be nothing more then goat herders. F**k 'em. Lets pull out of Saudi Arabia. After one of their neighboring "allies" invades them and kicks the fat-ass elite out, then there will be screams of "America!, America!, SAVE US!!".
(Damn, this is a great soapbox!!) :lol:

Right, considering that they help fund the extremists who caused 9/11 in the first place.

Don't sue me. I love America. Honest :cry:

Wouldn't be good if the war could be fought in courts instead of sending actual soldiers?
But then.. Forget it.. The U.S is also the Superpower of lawyers.
Nobody would stand a chance

Actually, no, you don't speak for me. And I say fuck you.

But really. This kind of lawsuit is fucking pointless. Just like any invasion of Iraq, or even an ongoing war on terror. Just get on with your insignificant and pointless lives. Shit happens.

Why does everyone think that a huge pile of money will solve all theitr problems. ie, the trillion dollar lawsuit, as if that will help bring back their loved ones. It's the goddamn lawyers faults, fucking ambulance chasers, it's their faults that doctors can't afford malpractice insurance and don't want to be doctors anymore or can't afford to.
