From the article:
As all eyes have been on Libya, there have also been large developments in another country we are bombing, Yemen. Just this week protesters took over a military base aided by military defectors, which brought along with it a death toll of over 50 people. Violence has continued to rise yet it really isn’t clear to people why this concerns the United States or why it is even happening.
….The turmoil that has been brewing in Yemen for quite some time now can be summed up to either a separatist movement or a civil war. The people we happen to be bombing are those that happen to belong to the separatist camp, or are “anti-government.” Coincidence? Or US-backed regime maintenance? Given all the military training we have provided Yemen’s military, I am going to go with the latter.
Seeing as how we are hell-bent on establishing yet another anti-American state in the Middle East, the consequences of our actions need to be considered. If the separatists were to succeed and form South Yemen, we would have a government made up of people that we have spent the past few years bombing… Needless to say they would most likely not be too friendly towards us.
