K: Are you supporting the Saudis in what is essentially a Yemenese civil war?
There's no civil war in Yemen. There was until Saleh quit his dictatorship and quit the government. Obama told him to do so back in the glorious April Uprising days but that's not why he left, although he may have thought the paper-tiger would actually send help to the insurrectionists (like in Syria...remember the red lines). The Big O decimated Libya, which had a population half the size of the Big Apple's (or something like that) but only 76,000 troops, which could have been annihilated by the NYC Police Department. The “war” in Yemen is strictly religious, if Islam can be called a religion—the Sunnis vs. the Shiites, a minority. The fat princes back the Sunnis (and the U.S., as in Iraq, Syria, Pakistan and Afghanistan. The Shiites can hope for help from the Iranian ayatollah, if any. So...Muslims are killing Muslims, with an occasional missionary thrown in.
