Answer 1

Did you read that story?  It said nothing about them suing us.  It merely said that the Saudi ruling party could not be found guilty because it wasn't a state sponsored terrorism.  I knew this right after 9-11happened.  Osama Bin Laden didn't work for Saudi, in fact Osama is wanted by Saudi for his terrorist activities.

Next time please read it first.

And I just knew there would be some idiot that brought up Bush when he had nothing to do with your question or the story.

Answer 2

Becuase Bush gets oil from Saudi Arabia. He won't do anything when there is a risk of losing oil!

Answer 3

The article you posted, contradicts your claim. We cannot sue these people because the US State Dept had not declared them to be a state sponsor of terrorism. If they were declared terrorists then they could be sued.

I guess it pays for those Saudi Princes to be such good chums with the Bush family.  

Answer 4

yeah but they wont the us is too far in debt

Answer 5

Yes, we can sue them.  Neither has much chance at winning anything however.
