Yemen: On the Brink of War

Civil war looms as the Arab Spring ignites again in Yemen.

Read Edmund J. Hull's take on how to stabilize Yemen.

The news of Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh's June 4 departure to Saudi Arabia sparked riotous celebrations among anti-government demonstrators through Yemen. Saleh was seeking medical attention for wounds sustained in a June 3 attack on the presidential palace. But the jubilation may be short-lived; on June 6, Vice President Abd al-Rab Mansur al-Hadi announced that Saleh would be returning to Yemen "in days."

Here, protesters in the capital Sanaa throw a youth in the air on June 5 in celebration of Saleh's exit.

no doubt the u.s. is secretly behind this war. as far as the bomb planting, it seems to make more sense it is the us, uk and india who are the ones planting the bombs. id like to find some wars in which the u.s and uk arent funding or encouraging in some manner

How Is The US Secretly Behind This?

How do you figure that the US is secretly behind this war? What, every time there is some kind of war it's the United States fault, or the United States is involved right?

Just because the United States is branded as a country that does what they want when they want doesn't mean that they are involved in every war that is going on. This worldwide brands that the United States is given is kind of ridiculous.

And there is no proof that the United States is involved in this, and no motive at that. I'm just sick of it always being either the USA or one of the wealthyaffiliates of the USA that is at fault every time some kind of war is going on. Regardless of what you think, the USA does try to help people, and they do have the best intentions when getting involved with foreign politics, it's doba and insulting that people always throw the United States in the mix every time a war or some kind of fighting goes on.

Do you really think we spend all of our tax dollars so we can just start wars in other countries? Yea, I don't think so. All of that tax money WE, the USA citizens are spending, is to HELP aid other people - not start wars.

war is not good

War is not good. And it is not good to write these articles that promote war and make it look as if war is nice. peterguiliano is a different type of war. It is way more friendly and all you can lose is time or money but no lives.
Just think about it!

There was a typo in the

There was a typo in the comment. I wanted to talk about internet marketing and somehow that got mixed up. So, lets try it backwards and see whethermarketinginternet is something that can be used instead of a war here. This all is about politics. And sometimes if you just state the same facts in a different sequence everything gets accepted. Computer are very strange. For a computer it sometimes does not matter what comer first, the internet or the marketing. Let's see whether we can please everybody here. However this may be, I still oppose to war. I am not a friend of many words. I usually just briefly state what I want and all is in peace. They should be able to do that in Yemen too.
