The house is full off morons but I can't say I disagree with this one. It's always left a bad taste in my mouth that the Saudis so obviously had a lot to do with 9/11 but have been allowed to skate.
While it's absolutely true that the Saudi's played a central role in 9/11, allowing law suits against a country might be to the US' detriment.<p>Imagine a retaliatory law suit (funded by the Sauds and others) against the US for all the causalities resulting directly or indirectly from U.S' war on terror or foreign policy.
This could end well, or at least comically. I am sure the Saudis have a treasure trove of evidence on the source of Afghan war derived terrorism and the US is now equally compelling them to share it and hide it?<p>Killing Malcolm X might not have been enough to supress the theory that chickens will go home to roost.
Maybe I'm just ignorant but how can the House of Commons support this well also once supporting the wars that followed 911. To me it's as if they are admitting they had no business attacking the surrounding countries.
