If they do it is at a loss. Who would they turn to as a Military Allie? Russia? China? Doubtful.Oil versus Superpower. Who wins? Obviously oil wins.

You were protecting them. You have a huge military base there. They brought down WTC. They should have been invaded instead of Afghanistan or Iraq.

What rot. "They" did nothing of the sort. They have a problem with criminal citizens. But who doesn't?

They are financing your debt. Whey they sell 750B worth your economy goes down the drain.Such a lawsuit would be a Really Bad Idea. Was the Saudi government involved? Probably not as a whole, but some within the government apparently were...and I'm pretty sure they would be to some extent liable. But let's say we get the whole 750B. Sure, we won...but at what political and diplomatic cost?
This is a matter of realpolitik at least as much as it is a matter of right and wrong.
A judge recently allowed Sandy Hook victims to sue gun manufacturers for gun related deaths, so why not?Well, suing SA over 9/11 would be rather off the wall and making a law to enable it after the fact is not even rule of law. But it would be a type of war that Congress would be declaring.
Lol. You mean we'll lose diplomatic face with a nation that turns a blinds eye to ISIS, has one of the worst human rights records in the world, and exports Wahabism? Oh no!! whatever shall we do if we lose face with such an ally.Such a lawsuit would be a Really Bad Idea. Was the Saudi government involved?

yeah diplomacy with a monstrous dictatorial regime, no thanks. An invasion of saudi now would be far more justified than of iraq and hey, just steal their oil while at it!

And since they're our largest customer for our arms - their defense budget is larger than Russia's(!) - what would THAT cost us in terms of blood and treasure, since Iraq and Afghanistan were costing us at one point $12B per month? And that was WITH logistical support by other local nations, which we suddenly wouldn't have anymore if we invaded. Not to mention what would happen with a couple million Muslims being outraged at us here stateside.
Good thing you're not in charge!
