On the other hand, it opens a way for foreign citizens to seek
compensation if their loved ones fell victims of the so-called War on
Terror. Thus, Washington has in essence
recognized its obligations to pay compensation for those civilians that
have perished as a result of US military actions. This possibility was
pointed out last fall by Obama administration spokesman Josh Ernest who
notrd last year that this bill may put the US at “significant risk”
since now other countries can adopt similar laws. And even now it’s safe
to assume that there’s going to be a long line of those seeking
retribution, if we are to remember that in the last decade Washington
has invaded numerous sovereign states, killing civilians en mass under
the pretext of fighting a “War on Terror” launched by the White House in
the aftermath of 9/11 attacks.
