But lets see if due to this case the sellers of all the weapons that saddam had to hurt people, or even materials to make these weapons, are getting sued. Then youd see the US goverment in court, and i dont think thats gonna happen...

As I recall there were some companies that did receive fines when they violated orders to cease and desist from certain sales to Iraq. I do not recall if there were any prosecutions and or convictions...and I do not have the inclination to search the matter. BTW...you would not see the US government in court...as it would be private enterprise that would be sued. One cannot sue the government without the governments permission to do so.
