Iraqi’s Learning Democracy, Suing Blackwater
Iraqi’s are a little sick and tired of Blackwater USA ”security forces” killing them and having to answer to the laws of Noplaceland. So apparently someone told them that under their new democracy they can sue people for what they deem inappropriate conduct that harms them in some form.
So some families of dead Iraqi’s have decided to come together and sue Blackwater. The hardest part of this issue is where the case will be tried seeing as how they fall under the jurisdiction of Noplaceland. My belief is that a “fair and balanced” trial could perhaps be held on the set of Fox’s morning show Fox and Friends.
But what if the Iraqi’s win this? Might this not open up the flood gates for law suits gone wild? Will people start suing because their tea was too hot? Or for getting fat from all the Taco Bell they will be eating? Hey, that can argue that they didn’t know the food was fattening and liked their concept because of their “run for the border” slogan.

Isn’t it true that no official under Blackwater protection has never been killed? They are doing a tough job in the most dangerous place on earth. Bhutto and many other dead diplomats and people working to help Iraq could have used their services.
Bhutto was about to expose how Musharraf rigged the elections. Remember, Musharraf is a staunch ally of Bush. This is much more complicated than what you’re saying.
As for Blackwater’s record, maybe, but so they should considering how trigger happy they are.
If Iraq was free, not only Blackwater, but the entire US armed forces would be gone from there.
