Yemen Gets Help From the US
By Micah Halpern

Thursday November 4, 2010

I've Been Thinking:

The US is now obsessed with threats from Yemen.
The US has just given Yemen $150 million to organize and fight terror.

It is a total waste of money for more reasons than you can imagine.

Yemen is one of the most disorganized, corrupt, bureaucratic societies in the Middle East. That says something because the Middle East is the Mecca of corruption.

See for yourself.

Google the online pictures of the Customs Mail Hold in Yemen. They actually show you rooms with packages and envelopes scattered all over the floor and heaped in piles without any hope of organization.

Despite this - it is still essential that we keep all channels with Yemen open and hospitable and that we at least try to make certain that the leaders of Yemen keep trying to fight terror any which way they can.

The United States needs Yemen - Yemen has info and Yemen has access.
