To Blake the Heretic

The USA is in Yemen at the invitation of the democratically elected government in order to aid them against terrorists from al qaida who are attempting to destablise the democratic process and install a theocracy throughout the Muslim world. There is nothing illegal under any imternationally accepted definition about what they are doing.

Secondly YOU did not kill 100,000 civilians. Civilians killed by the USA in Iraq are about 7,000 mostly in the invasion phase. The rest of the civilians have been killed by iraqis themselves in sectarian conflict.

Thirdly Bin Laden is was not an Afghan. Hhe was Saudi Arabian .

As for diplomacy. The USA is foremost in seeking diplomatic solutions but diplomacy is useless unless backed by force. Frankly I think that the allies were looking for an excuse NOT to intervene in Syria because they realized that they were probably on the wrong side and repulsive as the Baathist regime might be the democratic opposition is almost non existent and the real opposition are Al Qaida supported salafists.Personally I would rather live under fascists than islamists

Diplomacy with terrorists is not dumb. It goes on all the time. In Northern Ireland the UK government engaged in diplomacy with terrorists to end 'the troubles', The Spanish did the same with ETA and the French with the FLN.
