		<description>Gosh Yaseen, just when I think you are capable of a serious political discussion, you go off the handle. And to assume just cause a person compiles research and publishes it works for the CIA is laughable at best. 

Being critical of the ruling party is not to be considered political blackmail, it is bringing out information to the public so the public can decide what is best for them. And to hold their govt accountable.Intervention is not even thought of. In a democracy, the govt is and should be accountable to it&#039;s citizens. Not the other way around. In your words, why would the regime feel threatened by published reports of it&#039;s governance and the consequences of such actions. Old saying &quot; Fool me once, its on you, fool me twice .... &quot; published information is meant to be used to inform the people so they are not fooled twice.</description>

		<description>Further Yassin, the article says there is group discrimination by the regime, widespread criminal activities by the elite, a near complete deterioriation of public services, habitual targeting of the opposition, and a factionalized elite. And this is why the FPP gave Yemen a high rank on the failed state index. 

And you are saying its better for Americans to ignore that, to not even understand that. Understanding doesnt equal intervention.</description>

		<description>Ok Yaseen, new rule, actually its an old rule: no cursing. If you curse, Im going to edit you like I did above or delete the comment entirely. I gave you some slack until now, but I would appreciate your cooperation on this issue like all the other commenters.

Second, I am not CIA. Its illegal in the US for the govt to use journalsits for intelligence. Not that I expect that will make an impact on you. One day, somehow or another, you&#039;ll know I am a private citizen, a freelance journalist, and thats it. 

If publishing hard statistics threatens the regime, (and apparently it does based on their public reaction), it indicates a problem not with the publishing but with the regime.</description>

		<description>Excellent post of Movad, Jane I think his way in thinking is better. when happens we talk about some thing we should take into consideration the history, the different circumstances, the ongoing plans, near history such as 1994 war and difficulties that followed. the relation with neighboring countries ,the geopolitical influence of some breakouts in the region, and in fact the existence of Israel (from strategic view) remember the oil existence in neighboring countries and unfortunately the political difference with them which have had Yemen kinda isolated,  …ext,

The Yemenis know best the situations in their country and they know best how deal with them.

By the way ,I just found it sort of funny as you tried to have Ahmed Alrabei statement your way, u made it such as if he was warning that every thing in Yemen is going to collapse ,and then you mentioned the other warnings of other organizations ,

Well, I read our brother (Ahmed alrabei) articles about Yemen, it was not the way you tried to show, he just wanted to give justifications for his idea about supporting Yemen. Particularly he was referring to the geopolitical importance of Yemen in the (Arab island (that is Yemen and the 6 gulf countries)). He mentioned such scenarios to convince those who are hesitant in accepting Yemen in GCC. He was reminding the gulf people that Yemen and gulf countries are historically under one entity (the Arab island), any one reads Ahmed article would feel (Afghan and civil war is really unexpected but justification of the idea) ,However u made it such as every one in the world worries about what is on in Yemen. 

How far up does the responsibility go?


All Im doing is highlighting the situation for the West where there’s no ready understanding

For whom you are highlighting in the west? For the regular people? I doubt, for the administrations ? I doubt because they have already their own Mukhabarat
Well, I think what are you doing is no more than political blackmail. I still believe you are doing that as member of CIA (America Mukhabarat). The result of your articles are just to make the large companies in the west find the  geopolitical risk of investing in Yemen is much higher than the return ,according to your articles even the most optimistic investor would find he can not take on such geopolitical risks.

Is this what are you trying to do for Yemen and Yemenis?

Is your goal to bring the regime down? 
Well believe me, no single man from the Arab world accept any American intervention. Although you are in Iraq with forces and 400 billion dollar or more till now, and all these victims but still the situations there are just f***ed up &lt;em&gt;(-ed),&lt;/em&gt;and what is worse is that your domestic policies have influence on foreign policies ,now your religious president found ,due to domestic pressure ,he has to pull out some troops, but since the situations in Iraq don’t allow ,so your administration plan to replace the boots on the ground with airpower. Experts in America have announced how trouble and risky adopting such plan, this is not the topic,, I just mean that since it seems impossible for Americans to find balance between domestic and foreign policies and due to other issues,, none in the Arab world want American intervention in managing their future, now in the Arab world the saying is (the devil you know is better than the angel America brings) rather than the old saying. 
  
Therefore, most probably what are you doing is just political blackmail against our leaders, of course that does not help.</description>
