    Default 3rd or 4th front? These things are begining to run together

    Hello Yemen

    http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news...-1225814224061

    I love having my fingers in every part of the pie
    There, but for the grace of God, goes John Bradford

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    Only 5,000?

    Small change in a war.

    5,000 deaths over eleven years of war, on at least two fronts, is a paltry number. In the 100 hours of Desert Storm the Americans suffered 200 casualties.

    While every human life is precious and of equal value a sense of perspective is vital here.

    The best option available to a middle-eastern despot is to label his opposition Al-Qaida terrorists.
