While its not surprising, and I don't feel outrageous, that the government and official representatives of Saudi Arabia cannot be held DIRECTLY responsible for the attacks, it does need to be pointed out again and again that they were far more responsible than Iran and Iraq who our government repeatedly TRIED to blame the attaks on. Even if we cannot sue them over it, we need to use this information in setting our foreign policy (and energy policy, come to think of it) towrads that nation.

    What a disgrace! The Saudis talk out of both sides of their mouths, sometimes at once ! What better reason for us to become energy independent? Our troops are there supporting them and they can't even have an American flag showing in public. MEMO TO OUR POLITICIANS---ESPECIALLY THE OBSTRUCTIONIST PELOSI: GET OFF YOUR ASSES , STOP PLAYING PARTISAN POLITICS, STOP LINING YOUR POCKETS AT THE EXPENSE OF THE WORKING MAN, AND FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, GET IT IN GEAR AND GET US OFF FOREIGN OIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      "insufficient"? "INSUFFICIENT"? Somebody tell me this is a sick JOKE !
      What about "aiding and abetting a felony", "accessory to murder", "conspiracy to commit a felony", "providing material support for terrorism", espionage and sabotage charges, crimes against humanity?
      Are the Bushco & Assocs. ties to the Saudian perverts so tight, and their unclean love of Mammon so great that an American Federal Court bends its knee and grovels in abject service to the bloodsoaked crazed Dark Lords from The Depths of Hell?
      Has this Nation sunk so low that this travesty of justice is not only ignored but considered de rigeur and consistent with our direction and destiny?
      We are DONE ! The Founders Noble Experiment is OVER !
      The invading Huns are us.

              Lucy,
              Would you want their flag flown all over our country? They buy a lot of stuff from the US also. Like paper. You know, all those US Treasury bonds.

              I did agree with your post in a sense but I think (and correct me if I'm wrong) that someone can display any flag they want in the states on their own property.

                Saudi and big oil have their hand up the hind ends of the U.S.'s government like puppets. As an American, I want big oil and opec to fall. The supreme court is so corrupt and the justices shouldn't be elected by the president or for a lifetime. I think everyone should write their representatives about this issue, because it allows corruption in the basis of our judicial system. Law has become a self governed body of rats. Why is it, lawyers can only make the law and normal people don't have a say? I think we should vote on major issues, instead of letting the courts decide. Americans need their voice heard.

                My Conspiracy theory:
                The story should say, they are innocent and they have a lot of oil! Saudi used the U.S. to stop Iraq from taking over Kuwait instead of letting al quida fight the war. Then Saudi gives money to al quida and they bomb the U.S., because Osama negotiated some middle east deal a long time ago with the U.S. during the cold war to be the muscle in the middle east. The U.S. in turn solves Saudi's problem with Iraq, and prevents Irans growth. Oil goes up, huge profits are made by the Saudi's and they are not responsible for 9-11?

                  THE ONLY REASON IS BECAUSE OF BIG OIL  BIG MONEY

                  IF IT WERE ANOTHER COUNTRY  WE WOULD HAVE WENT IN AND FLATTENED THEIR COUNTRY

                  OOP'S  THAT IS NOT POLITICALLY CORRECT IS IT    WE WOULD HAVE GIVEN THEM A BIG HUGG AND SAIS ALL IF FORGIVEN      LMFAO
