Iran, Taliban, al Qaeda fined $6 bn for 9/11 attacks


zeenews.india.com
Washington: A New York federal judge has approved a 6 billion-dollar ‘default judgment’ against Iran, and militant insurgent groups, Taliban and al Qaeda, after finding them culpable in the 9/11 terrorist attacks in New York.

According to the Fox News, the US judge signed a default judgment pertaining to a lawsuit brought by relatives of 47 victims, who lost their lives during the attacks on the World Trade Center.

Though the judgment is largely symbolic, it provides some hope to the relatives of Sept. 11 victims that someday they can recover damages from the incident. A federal ma

Hmmm, this post made me start day dreaming about; all the good we could do with our tax dollars in this country, if we stopped pumping out foreign aid...Firstly, pay families bonuses that have lost members and served their country in this "war on terror" and full medical care instead of limit and deny veterans care and benefits.

Top five and what they are saying they use it for:
1. Israel $2.4 billion
Virtually all of this money is used to buy weapons (up to 75% made in the U.S.). Beginning in 2009, the U.S. plans to give $30 billion over 10 years.

2. Egypt $1.7 billion
$1.3 billion to buy weapons; $103 million for education; $74 million for health care; $45 million to promote civic participation and human rights. (Nice job arming yourselves to the teeth)

3. Pakistan $798 million
$330 million for security efforts, including military-equipment upgrades and border security; $20 million for infrastructure. (As thanks for housing Osama)

4. Jordan $688 million
$326 million to fight terrorism and promote regional stability through equipment upgrades and training; $163 million cash payment to the Jordanian government. (Looks pretty stable over there, good job)

5. Kenya $586 million
$501 million to fight HIV/AIDS through drug treatment and abstinence education and to combat malaria; $15 million for agricultural development; $5.4 million for programs that promote government accountability. (Over A half a billion a year, not including all the charity...and you still can't keep flies off your children's faces, or give them blankets and fresh water)

Almost laughable, but they are serious. Iran is now, or WAS INVOLVED with 9-11 NOW.. according to this story.


Why not? They all look the same.... brown, bearded, muslim etc....right?
I say fine them till they're broke... and then STOP bombing and invading them.

Well, it worked so well last time with Germany I can see why they'd give it a go again. See if they can get the next big war kicked off through demands of money.

For those of you without the historical knowledge -

Germany was fined by the
League of Nations to pay back the costs of fighting them during WW1.

This set up a situation where the German people, a proud people, were devastated by the amounts of money they were expected to be paying to the League of Nations. This set up the circumstances for the hatred of the Jews, who were in the banking and money sectors. Money in Germany was so worthless that you could use it to wallpaper your house. In turn, this crushing of a prideful people and the identification of a good group to focus anger on about their monetary circumstance allowed the Nazi party to truly get its claws into the German people.

To the extent that they almost took over the whole damn world.

Now, does anyone really think that the people making these decisions don't know their history?

Why of course they know their history. A good ol'Muslim Hitler is just what the spin doctors call for.

Let's not stray too far from topic... after all some of those terrorists also came into the US via Canada and Mexico (or am I mistaken about that?) ... but those nations were not targeted by the judge for remuneration.

Frankly, this may be a political 'feel good' stunt in the long run.

And the Saudi Arabia connection is something the US government NEVER seems willing to acknowledge for reasons that escape me....
