Last week, more than 50 U.S. citizens filed lawsuits last week against the State Department and Department of Defense for failing to evacuate them.

Why would a private citizen even want to be in a place like Yemen? Libya? Oh yeah, I really want to hang out there and relax on the Mediterranean beaches.

Americans are leaving Yemen and Muslims are butchering each other. And this is a bad thing?

An American in Yemen is either a spy or an idiot.

Or a Muslim immigrant from Yemen visiting relatives. Or an American Muslim there to get terrorist training.

Similar to the first question that came to me...what are Americans doing over there?

To ask the question is to answer it. Only the delusional liberals would do this.

One aspect of liberals’ mental disorder is they cannot comprehend danger. I see it all the time in my own daily affairs, and it’s pretty weird - similar to the emotional makeup of a toddler.

Sorry. Venturing to Yemen, now is not an act of genius.
