sooo.... saudi arabia is threatening to sue cigarette makers if they dont pay for saudi medical care related to cigarettes.....

so can the collective NY/pennysylvania/DC population sue them back for thier citizens role in 9/11?

can everyone else sue them when a suicide bomber blows himself up killing people?

Re: so... can we sue them for.............

no, that would be the equivalent of suing the US gov't for the responsibility of it's tobacco companies.

al Sadr can be linked back to Iran. He is a Shi'ite, remember.

All of this points back to Iran eventually. Iran wants control over the region. If they can get Iraq, they'll control the largest oil reserves in the world.... giving them a much stronger position in the world.

Are you saying we're at [I]de facto[/I] war with Iran? If you are, I would agree with you.

Yes. War will occur if Iran gets close to having a nuclear weapon.

Israel will bring us into it. They will be forced to attack Iran if they get close to a nuke.... and we will have to aid Israel in the aftermath.

much like the doctor's effort during your birth.

its funny how they can push to sue US based companies for having a product ppl choose to use, based on the fact that it kills, as opposed acting responsible for the elements that emanate from thier country that average 300 violent deaths a week worldwide.

maybe not, they are sayingthe new find just east of the gulf of mexico might be even bigger. which is also in the US territory, which is also the main reason why it faded from the news after a week.

my company was part of that discovery. we did the interpretation of the initial well data. there is no way its nearly big enough to give the US a noticable increase in their percentage of global world supply. coal is what the US has alot of, not oil...

Check out a company called Sasol, which is doing coal-to-liquid fuel conversion. Involves converting coal to liquid fuels, thereby removing the sulfur, mercury, and other pollutants found in even the 'cleanest' coal.

This has finally become economical with the high price of oil. Look for it at a coal mine near you...

Re: so... can we sue them for.............

or i could hit ignore buttons and get rid on mindless rabbling when ppl say im a racist b/c i say a foreign gov't has no right to bring suit to a domestic company. especially when they are trying to extort medical payments from said companies based upon voluntary use of a product, comparing to another gov't suing parties within saudi arabia that are responsible for deaths that are no where near voluntary, but homicide.

please stop replying to me, i cant deal with you anymore. you sir, are an idiot. i have never met anyone since eye-p who is so disjointed from reality in hopes of ''what should be'' in regards to talking world events and politics.
