| [AA.TR] Qatar ...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates... on Wednesday slammed proposed legislation in the U.S. that would allow the families of victims of terrorist attacks to sue the foreign governments deemed responsible. At a meeting of Qatar’s council of ministers chaired by Prime Minister Sheikh Abdullah bin Nasser bin Khalifa Al Thani, Qatari officials described the bill as "a violation of the principle of immunity of sovereign states" and a "dangerous precedent in international relations", Qatar’s official news agency reported. Entitled the Justice against State Sponsors of Terrorism Act, or JASTA, the bill is supported by the families of victims of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in New York and Washington who hope to sue the Saudi government for its alleged role in the attacks. Last week, the U.S. Senate overwhelmingly voted in favor of overriding President Barack Obama I bowled a 129. It’s like — it was like Special Olympics, or something... ’s earlier veto of the bill. Shortly afterward, Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... expressed its "serious concern" over the proposed legislation. "The adoption of such a law should be a source of great concern to countries that object to the notion of weakening sovereign immunity -- a principle that has guided international relations for hundreds of years," the Saudi Press Agency quoted a Saudi Foreign Ministry source as saying. |
