Whew! Things were going bad there for a while, but I can finally say that
America is back on the right track.

In the wake of September 11, our chuckleheaded warmonger president and his
stooges attacked Afghanistan and bombed the hell out of it, killing
thousands of people including several dozen actual terrorists, but not,
unfortunately, their alleged leader, Osama bin Laden. Then, instead of
continuing to search for this crazed terrorist leader, the Administration
decided to mosey on over to something they have always wanted to do: attack
Iraq and get back at Saddam Hussein for supposedly humiliating the current
"President"s father (even though it was the senior Bush who LET Hussein go
free, for reasons nobody understood even back then).

So, after nearly a year of patiently waiting for the government to do
something about the terrorists, whose passports show them as SAUDI citizens,
not Afghanis, the People have decided to take matters into their own hands,
getting Justice the American way. They're going to sue.

Families of victims of the attack have banded together to sue the Saudi
royal family and Saudi banks and charities that have been funneling money to
the terrorists for decades. The "President" and his "advisors" don't want
to touch Saudi Arabia because the Saudis have such a big supply of oil, and
because we hope to have bases there from which to attack the enemy that
looms largest in the Administration's addled minds -- "Sodom" Hussein.

Ok, fine, say the American People, we never paid much attention to the
President or Congress anyway -- we're turning to the branch of government
that we deal with every day, the one we KNOW has the REAL power -- the
Judiciary!! You may be the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, but you better get
youself a DAYUM good lawyer boy, cause we got the tobacco lawyer on our
side, and a guy who successfully sued Libya for crashing one of our
planes!!! Yeeeehaw, let the Justice begin!

Me be smelling interesting fish with this one. For
if they can get *any* kind of judgement against a
Saudi corporation, of course they wouldn't be able
to collect a dime. However--they *might* be able to
sue US corporations that do business with the Saudi
corporations--chief of which is Halliburton!

You see, it avails not to sue Halliburton directly,
as they could create so many catch-22 hoops that you
could not even get standing in court, much less a hope
for litigation. But if you have a judgement already
in place with a business partner of Halliburton, you
have an "in" into litigation, and maybe even RICO
triple damages, against Halliburton and others.

I suspect the court case will probably last ten to fifteen years,
unless some kind of a settlement is reached.
