WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Lawyers representing two Saudi princes argued Friday that their clients have immunity from lawsuits relating to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, because they are diplomatic officials.

Saudi Defense Minister Prince Sultan bin Abdul Aziz and Prince Turki al-Faisal, formerly head of Saudi Arabia's intelligence agency, have been sued by hundreds of relatives of the victims, who allege that they knowingly contributed money and support to al Qaeda through Islamic charitable organizations.

I'll make a deal: You, as diplomats representing the government of your country, can have legal immunity from prosecution for knowingly donating to a terrorist organization, provided that we, as a sovreign country protecting its interests, can destroy the regime which you represent, and bomb it into oblivion like a couple others which we have done likewise to, recently. Deal?

I hope this lawsuit goes through and the Royal Sand ******'s have to spend millions defending themselves. I'd like to see them lose and have to pay up, but I doubt they'd ever pay a nickle.

WELL, Now; "Diplomatic Immunity!!"

WOW!

DESPITE CLEAR & Irrefutable Evidence that Schools FUNDED BY "Saudi Princes" preach Hatred of America, & Despite Indisputable Proof that Known, openly Declared, anti-Western Terrorist Organizations are ALSO funded by "Saudi Princes," we WESTERN SUCKERS are supposed to believe that the "Hands of the Saudi's" are CLEAN of ANY involvement in Terrorism!!

Well, Heck; I guess us poor Ignorant Fools "in the West" are Simply TOO SIMPLE to understand the subtlties & Complexities of the "Arab Mind!"

NO DOUBT, when we convert Mecca, Medina, & Qom to Radioactive Dust, our "Muslim Bretheren" will--once again--accuse us of "Cultural Insensitivity!"

I HOPE the "Followers of Islam" eventually understand the RAGE I represent.

THINK ABOUT THIS;--there have been NO Christian or Jewish Homicide Bombers, EVER!!

The "Saudi Princes" have helped create a MASSIVE, Cultural Psychopathology.

They are GUILTY of Genocide--& should be so Charged by the International Community!
