Debate: Suing terrorists

Forum member Sam posed a provocative question about the reality of suing terrorists

Would the northern Irish that want to take the Libyans to court for supplying the IRA not think it would be easier and more profitable to sue Sinn Fein, the Dublin government and the American government?

I include the American government as they did nothing about Noraid, indeed some senators and congressmen even supported it.

Would the northern Irish...

Nothing daft about it, they should lobby the government to seek extradition on the proud Irish Americans who funded terrorism, or is it only acts of terrorism against America we should care about? See how that would effect their stand on Lockerby.

It's not just noraid, the Afghan war is an act of terrorism. To invade a sovereign nation because you THINK someone MIGHT be hiding there?
