No one wants the United States to be called into courts all over the world to defend claims against us.
Plus it is just a silly concept. Courts in the United States have no authority to compel evidence be produced by any other country. A legitimate trial would be impossible. It would be nothing but a publicity scam, yet it could lead to Saudi Arabian assets in the US being frozen.
Yes, there is a U.S. jurisdiction issue. What about pursuing the matter in the International Criminal Court instead of in U.S. courts?
JOHN ROBERTS: From time to time in the years to come, I hope you will be treated unfairly so that you will come to know the value of justice... I wish you bad luck, again, from time to time so that you will be conscious of the role of chance in life and understand that your success is not completely deserved and that the failure of others is not completely deserved either.
