I guess I can see both side's position. It does not seem right that the government could prevent a citizen from seeking justice in a court of law. That is where we all should be able to air our grievances. And the Saudi government has never had to explain or answer for their involvement in the events of 9/11. They have such a closed, ethnocentric and rigid society it is doubtful much new would be learned at trial but it would be a serious blow to some huge Saudi egos and that would be nice to see. On the other hand suing for the sake of money only is pretty pathetic too. The Saudi government could probably get off the hook with an apology but that will never happen.Saudi Arabia should not be on our list of allies. Short of a new series of Crusades little is likely to change. It would be cheaper just to leave a burning bag of camel dung on a few Saudi princes porches.
