#1 As much as this seems nice, I object to the judiciary getting into any aspect on the conduct of war. Its the incorrect forum. It also opens up the US and others to be likewise 'sued' in foreign courts for conducts which are the proper venue of the legislative and executive branches. Just keep in mind the recent actions of some Spanish courts.

#2 The people of the United States support this type of lawsuit, as long as the Islamic Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is not subject to claims. Should that occur, we will again file an Amicus brief on behalf of our Saudi friends, as we did in the 9-11 lawsuit. Our friends can do no wrong, therefore we let them alone.
