Families of USS Cole attack can sue the Sudan?

I swear, I hate how litigious we have become... the Sudan has nothing... what's the point? Go after some deep pockets at least. Suing because you can is pointless sometimes.

The suit may have more impact because Sudan is pretty poor. I don't mind the suit as long as the charge isn't bogus.

What? Deep pockets? It's not about money, it's about justice, unless you're a lawyer grubbing for bucks. :p

Achieving justice by suing a pitiful country just seems mean... but then again, they were helping terrorists. I don't know... why is life so confusing... :p

Sue Sudan. Plenty of lawyers now have jobs. Transfer the large cash reinbursement. More jobs. Now we must fix the resulting poverty. Get the public to donate money. More jobs. Big concerts. More jobs. Buy relief supplies. More jobs. Send those supplies and volunteers to Sudan to distribute that aid. Wonderful. No recession. AND since we now have all this economic activity, the president can claim how well the economy is doing.

But going to help the poor Africans does have an upside. :)
