Most of the food consumed in Yemen is imported...Blockading the food is a stroke of genius...You don't feel like fighting when you are starving to death....Saudi efforts are the best chance of restoring peace in Yemen.........

Some thoughts here..... Yemen. An interesting thread. People are dying. People are suffering on a massive scale. Who's to blame? Yes, the Saudi Arabian government is hitting back against a radical Shiite group hoping to take control of Yemen. Yup, the Americans are there too in the form of the US Green Beret's. Special ops. Drones. Satellite intelligence. Again, who's to blame? Shiite, that's the key word here. Shiite's acquiring power in a predominately Sunni peninsula. Shiite's launching missiles toward Riyadh. It reminds one of the Vietnam war. A communist led government trying to unify the country by purposely invading its southern neighbor which has a corrupt, semi-democratic government in power. Enormous suffering. Killings. Stop it. Stop it all now (!), come the cries from the media. But, what is completely unmentioned in THIS thread is who is supporting the Houthis with guns and ammunition, little different than who was supporting North Vietnam in the 60's and 70's during its struggle for hegemony over its neighbor to the south. By the way, the war in Yemen goes to the very heart of the diplomatic fights taking place in the Persian Gulf between Qatar and Iran on one side, and Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and the UAE on the other. What is important to note here is the support of the Houthis rebels from one country, also Shiite, .....Iran. The 32 year old Prince Salman of Saudi Arabia, the next ruler, has repeatedly threatened Iran over the Yemen conflict. They supply the guns, the ammunition, the missiles (which are launched toward Riyadh) and the MONEY for the Houthis cause. So, if there is suffering taking place in Yemen, and there certainly is (see above), then Iran should be held accountable as well. The Houthis aren't operating in a vacuum. This is essentially a proxy war that may portend a real one between SA and Iran in the coming years..... Mozart Edited by W A Mozart, May 4 2018, 09:14 AM.

Saudi is fighting a proxy war with Iran in Yemen. The effects on the Kingdom have been severe: a weakening of the Wahhabi clerical power and a growing modernization of the social structure. Both these steps may help Saudi's demographic and economic vulnerability but the Kingdom has significant internal flaws. Saudi's alliance with Israel and the USA cannot last forever. Iran is a shrewd and powerful enemy. Persia was always a major player. The Islamic Republic, like Saudi, has to shed some of the reactionary social mores which are associated with the fight against Western colonialism. Iran was a major ally of the USA under the Shah and it may be so again. We are natural partners. |

..."Saudi is fighting a proxy war with Iran in Yemen. The effects on the Kingdom have been severe: a weakening of the Wahhabi clerical power and a growing modernization of the social structure." ... I hate to admit it, but Georgie has it right here. The Wahhabi's are losing ground in SA on a daily basis. Mozart |
