Does America recognize the International Criminal Court? Last I heard, America does not, and even has the ICC listed as a part of the UN that American donations to the UN are not permitted to be used to fund. I believe this is so, to void nations taking the USA and it's soldiers to the ICC for war crimes.
So given this, do you think sueing Saudi Arabia is going to even work?

Godstud wrote:Yes. The very idea of suing the government of Saudi Arabia is stupid. There is no true enforcement of international law, and whose court would it be in? Would the Saudis or Americans recognize that court?
Don't forget that Obama was an attorney, so he probably has a good idea of the legalities.
