[We are bombarded with stories of inhuman atrocities in Syria, of children suffering and indiscriminate bombing. While this is clearly horrible the Western media turns a blind eye to the situation in Yemen. In Yemen, the backwards monarchy of Saudi Arabia carries out air-delivered butchery in hopes of crushing the Houthi rebels. The Saudi invaders and their local stooges bomb civilians, water supplies, and have severely limited food supplies to the point of humanitarian disaster. Saudi Arabia’s involvement comes in response to the Obama policy of depending on local collaborator regimes to do the imperialist dirty work of regular warfare. Obama intends to franchise American imperialism to local actors, and give them a free hand to butcher all who would oppose the US and her allie’s interests. – el Condor]
