Shi'ite coup in Yemen

[Delphic Oracle]

If I may be of service in mitigating your terminal case of nitwitus internetus, USS Cole. (CO was a friend of mine).

Fool me once, and all that. someone in that place needs to remember who not to screw with, and the people in that land are not known for their sophistication. l good smiting about the head and shoulders, though, they have the wit to understand.

Well, since Darth Rotor has a personal stake in this, by all means, let's march our young men and women in uniform into yet another sectarian conflict on the far side of the world. ETA: The USS Cole was attacked by AQ, who are Sunni, with the assistance of the Sudanese government. So by all means, let's spin attacking Shi'ites in Yemen 15+ years later as somehow related.

Sure, we'll give them a good paddlin' since "they" are nothing but dimwitted savages.

After 6000+ years of this same mentality, I'm starting to wonder if we really have the ability as a species to live up to the potential we like to think we are capable of.

Delphic, you appear to not have actually learned from history, as your post reflects an attitude of one who still live in the fantasy of land of "should" versus the land of "is."

Simple rule to learn from history: if you bait the bear too hard, you get swiped with the claws. The bear changes over the years, but that axiom doesn't.

EU Welcomes Yemen Ceasefire

Are they just taking a break and getting ready for the next bit of fighting, or is there some hope that they can work out a solid cease fire?
