Didn't happen in America so why is the case in US courts? So if I do as Roman's do in Rome, I will be sued in Rome NY???

It's not that, it's the State departments reasons for it. Oh no we have private business there so let's just look the other way. But then we'll use the horrible acts that Saddam does as a pretext for an invasion.
