Should the US government bailout or sue these reckless institutions ?

So many lending institutions recklessly abondoned due process when lending to mortgages.In addition many rating agencies who were supposed to monitor the situation in order to ensure credit worthy persons were getting mortgages failed to perform their duties .The result is the sup prime crisis which now faces the US and consequently the world since many of the mortgages were repackaged and sold to companies all over the world.Now the world is on the brink of one of the largest recession caused by greed of the lenders.The mortgage lenders made an enormous amounts of money between about 2004 to 2007.During this time the housing market boomed and mortgages were doing quite well. Now it is my view that since these mortgage houses did so well and benefited so much from Subprime they are the ones who should pay .I believe they should be sued for all the money they made during the housing boom and the money derived from the lawsuit be used to sure up the markets and protect the homes of ordinary people. I am aware that some of these lending agencies would probably collapse from some of these law suits and hurt some investors but already they have collapsed under their own weight anyway and I am thinking about the greater good ,that of the majority of home owners .At least their collapse would result in the recuperation of some of the money lost by ordinary home owners and could be used to offset some of their losses Where do you weigh in on this argument ?
