The Saudis oppose al Qaeda and ISIL, and radical Muslim extremism; and yet by free world standards, Saudi Arabia is a nation of extreme Islam. Saudis, of course, control the crude oil, and their governance by Shia law is overlooked by the free world. Saudis are frenemies.
Iranians oppose al Qaeda and ISIL because the Sunni brand of Islamic radicalism isn’t theirs. Iranians represent the Shia brand of radical Islam and they govern a nation that is headed toward nuclear armament. Iranians are clearly enemies.
Yemen is a hugely poor place, and without a government it is not a nation. It isn’t even a rogue state. It is land up for grabs and the Houthis have it at the moment. The CIA and US Military are still swatting terrorists there, but the U.S. Embassy is closed as of now.
Stop, asses. Even with the Saudis and the U.S. on the same side, Iran and the Shiites defeated their opposition to install their own kind.
Still, this is no place for a turkey shoot, that is indiscriminate bombing of terrorist and enemy targets. Foreign policy would aim at appealing to the hearts and minds of Yemeni people? This is the classic instance and example of the world to come:
Impoverished people living where it is not sustainable
Ignorant people exploited by religious and political radicals into a violent state unfit for free-world helpers
Haven for terrorists
Target for rogue nation takeover
At the moment this place is a lose-lose.
Yet, President Obama has said that not all Muslims are war-like people. Well, at the heart of the two brands of Islam there is war over beliefs. At the heart of both brands there is Shia law that contradicts the free-world and the U.S. brand of government as well as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
"US, UK and France announce closures, evacuations of embassies in Yemen
Published February 11, 2015FoxNews.com
The State Department announced late Tuesday that the U.S. Embassy in Yemen had been closed and evacuated after much of the country was taken over by Shiite rebels last month.
Hours later, Britain and France followed suit and ordered their citizens to leave Yemen as soon as possible.
The U.S. embassy had already been operating with severely reduced staff for several weeks. State Department spokesman Jen Psaki said remaining diplomatic personnel had been relocated "due to the ongoing political instability and the uncertain security situation."
