At the time of September 11, 2001 the Arab countries were not promoting the death of Americans.
Actually, I doubt the Arab nations knew what was transpiring among their citizens. The pilots of the jets were already in the USA. The responsibility belongs to USA intelligence. Atta was in Germany, he wasn't in any of the Arab countries as a resident. There is nothing to blame. Their leaders did not wish the USA's people would die. Saudi Arabia and the USA military have had close friendships for a long time. They purchase much of their military equipment, like fighter jets from the USA. Any such allegation is baseless.
Some of the cultures were very victimizing of Westerners in general. The madrases were basically a part of everyday life. But, until Americans looked into them those schools were considered benign.
Saudi Arabia was completely committed to change the cultural aspects that were breeding killers. The Kingdom doesn't put up with extremism. September 11th is not about Saudi Arabia.
The families may have a case no different than any other lawsuit in the USA. It is difficult to sue governments. It is not impossible, but, they have far greater resources for such court actions than the plaintiffs.
The reason the families might have a reason is because the USA and Saudi Arabia was not at war. War would exempt the opposing country from lawsuits or any such action. The downing of those jets is a criminal action. Families that have been effected by crime have standing in the USA. I just don't see the way forward with that type of lawsuit.
Some of the families did not accept Bush's payoff. They were suing the airlines. I don't know how that turned out. That would be a legitimate reason to confront the airlines.
