Lull in the US war in Yemen

Obama might want to keep a low profile in Yemen, but the US military presence there is already huge. Yemen and Saudi Arabia have succeeded in dragging the United States into their sectarian violence.

Yemeni and Saudi Salafis presented their conflict with the Zaidi sect as a terrorist-related issue by trumpeting Zaidis’ ties to Al Qaeda. Never mind that the Salafis have similar ties, and indeed Salafist groups in Gaza are so tilted toward Al Qaeda that Hamas sees them as a political threat to its regime.

The fact that a handful of about 8 million of Yemeni Zaidis have acquired a terrorist franchise from Al Qaeda in no way justifies America acting as a Saudi mercenary in that conflict.

The warring parties signed a ceasefire, which was broken a few hours later.

President Obama is a socialist and a Muslim. You can count on Obama furthering Islamic goals. As a Suni his main loyalty is to Saudi Arabia.

War in Yemen is another proof that US as a superpower should be destroyed as soon as possible because the whole world is suffering because of its ambitions. Yemen is just another victim.

Those democracies such as USA, European countries with their “major” principles like Sweden “freedom of speech”, for example, walk on a thin ice because many other not that “democratic” countries are simply fed up with them.
