There was a massacre in Yemen yesterday by the armed goons of the regime. They massacred civilians with automatic weapons. Notice that the humane West did not react with outrage: notice that Saudi Arab media did not orchestrate a campaign of sympathy for the Yemeni people. And notice that NATO did not launch “liberating” bombing campaign. And notice that the New York Times today talked about “fighting” and “clashes” and civil war, as if there are two equal sides engaged in military combat: certainly the peaceful demonstrators were not a match for the US-armed and trained army of the tyrant.
