"... I generally find myself not sympathetic to your opinion on these thorny issues but this seems in part a fairly reasonable analysis - excepting of course for your shameless Obamaphile cheer leading, which apparently your ilk just can't help themselves from engaging in - the vapid romanticism of Obama's 'outreach' program can be grafted onto your skeptical inertia viz Yemen and thereby assume the guise of a thoughtful strategy, but the connection is tenuous at best - never mind suboptimal outcomes, better to call Obama's approach the emptiness that makes a nice sound - sub suboptimal, not outright failure if we're lucky - in other words, you do a good job of pointing out that Yemen is a shit hole and we should be very careful where we step, but your 'solution' to the problem is in the end a meaningless convenience - an endless side stepping that offers up the illusion of moving ahead..."
