bad idea.
how would they seize a foreign business? also, there's much more at stake than the coastline. bp employs thousands of americans, 10s of thousands of people worldwide and many many people have retirement money invested in them. to seize their assets to pay for a clean up is shortsighted and would result in even more problems, including an international backlash.
