Urgent: Stricter conditions on US arms

vendredi 22 avril 2016 à 02:00

Obama threatens to veto 9/11 victims bill

vendredi 22 avril 2016 à 02:00

Why does Obama threaten to veto a bill that would allow victims of the September 2001 terror attacks to sue foreign governments if they are responsible?

Maybe because he doesn't want the US government to be sued for things like drone bombings. Or maybe he is defending Salafi Arabia. Both reasons are bad. Maybe it is both. He may not want Yemenis to sue the US for providing weapons that Salafi Arabia is using to bomb civilians there. Both Sanders and Clinton support the bill, but Sanders also calls for publication of what the government's report said about Salafi Arabia.

As for the Salafi threat to sell some assets in the US, the US should not cower in fear of that. On the contrary, it suggests that Salafi Arabia has reason to expect it will lose such a lawsuit. The US needs to stop supporting Salafi Arabia in any case, so that it can't keep spreading fanatical Islam around the world.
