How do you collect on them?

There was 1.7 billion in frozen assets but Bush had to make the decision to allocate that money only for reconstruction.... The only problem with trying to enforce judgements is the possibility that US companies run the risk of having their assets seized by the governments that are sued in retaliation... It may be that only a moral victory can be achieved. There are governments that have sponsored terrorism that appear ready to provide financial compensation to have economic sanctions lifted (Libya) but I am still taking a "Show me the money!!" attitude on that one.

Sovereign immunity is a two edged sword...
