I like the juxtaposition of the Obama administration being against people having the ability to sue a country over the support of a terrorist act, yet for corporations having the ability to sue a country over laws that hurt profits.

Re: Saudi Scum?
I'm for suing the Saudis for 9/11, but if we decide that WE can sue them, then that opens up the whole can of worms for other countries to start suing US in retaliation. Tit for tat.
