Why Yemen has come undone.
CNN ^ | 3/26/2015 | Jack A. Goldstone

... From the center of the article ...

"Yemen does have value as a lesson -- this is what happens when you ignore the basic foundations of social stability. These include legitimate leadership with stable succession plans; a united elite; institutions to bridge regional and ethnic divisions and assure fairness in political and economic access and a functioning economy with capabilities for providing employment and growth."

TOPICS: Conspiracy; History; Military/Veterans; Society
KEYWORDS: elite; unitedelite; waronterror; yemen; yemenfailedstate
Note the emphasis. "united elite"

I think they just forgot to substitute FNORD for "united elite".

It’s too late
They’ve gone too far
They’ve lost the sun
They’ve come undone.

A united global elite would be the doom of mankind.

Upon re-reading -- this is a genuinely scary sentence.

If this is what CNN thinks are the "basic foundations" of a stable society -- then CNN has outed itself as a fundamentally un-American organization.

"Why Yemen has come undone.

Because the Obama regime is trading Yemen and the rest of the Middle East to Iran for a "nuclear deal" with Iran.

How soon before the Obama Regime starts trading Western Europe to Russia for another "nuclear deal?"

The article is so light on history it’s pathetic.

The divisions and instability in Yemen has been going on a long time, it’s not new.

Part of the division has been ethnic - different tribes, and part of it political, but underneath both has always existed the sectarian element - differences between Sunni and Shia.

Iran’s recent involvement is a big negative, for sure, but its ability to get involved (to have local Yemen groups seeking their support) is a matter of exploiting grievances of the Shia minority against the Sunni majority - some of the grievances legitimate.

The difference in this era is that in the past Middle East Arab Shia minorities, or politically oppressed Shia majorities, like in the Gulf States and like once was the case in Iraq, did not have a major regional champion, like the mullahs in Iran are behaving as. Of course, in time, many Shia will be sorry they take on the mullah’s in Iran for allies, for the mullahs have no main agenda other than their theocratic dictatorship. “Helping” other Shia muslims is really only about helping themselves, in terms of power.

Under what authority did the corrupt Clinton erase the emails of Abedin, Mills et al. This is pure criminality and Clinton must be told that she will be prosecuted, if not by this DOJ, by the next. The RICO case by Klayman is just the beginning. Dems must be warned not to nominate the walking dead.

You do understand you were reading an opinion on current events, written as original thought on FR specifically to draw out other opinions on the matter.

Mr. Wuli

Apologies for my last post to you. I was confusing another thread I started.

I’m glad you picked up on that.

Anybody feel like reporting sentence that to Drudge?

Technically speaking, Yemen has always been undone; this is because they are adherents of the death cult Islam. They may have cast their lots with the wrong terrorists in the eyes of Saudi Arabia, but both Yemen and Saudi Arabia have always been loyal followers of the master of destruction and chaos, Satan.
