By Micah Halpern
Sunday October 30, 2016 I've Been Thinking: The other day the Shiite Houthis of Yemen launched a missile into Saudi Arabia. The missile was intercepted 40 miles from Mecca by a Patriot anti missile battery. The Shiite Houthis are involved in a civil war in Yemen backed by the Iranians. They claim that the missile was not aimed at Mecca but rather, it was aimed at their second largest city Jeddah with a population of 4 million. The Saudis say that this attack was a terrible violation. It effectively broke through the glass ceiling. The Shiites respect Mecca as a Muslim site, but they resent Saudi control over the site. This assault was a massive game changer. There is no doubt that Saudi Arabia will respond to an attack of this magnititude with a serious and significant counter attack. Read my latest book THUGS.
