An Al Qaeda response to America's indifference to Yemen
©2011
While the U.S., and other Western powers continue to support movements for democracy in countries such as Egypt, Tunisia, and Libya, Washington has once again cautioned that change in Yemen is a threat to the battle against the Al Qaeda. The U.S. has endorsed having the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) attempt to act as a mediator in the current Yemen crisis. However, delays in pressing Yemen President Saleh to resign from office hav... #WestAsia #GCC #US #Bahrain #Asia #AlQaeda #Libya #Saleh #SaudiArabia #Yemen #MiddleEast

Yemen: too late for Saleh to exit gracefully
Why has Saleh waited so long to resign as president of Yemen?©2011
Fifty-two people dead, hundreds wounded, the Freedom Fighters of Yemen press on, and it is beginning to look as if the end of the battle could be near. Bloody Friday will not be forgotten by the Yemeni people as snipers poised atop nearby buildings fired on unsuspecting protestors. President Saleh had no choice but to declare a day of mourning for the dead, but it may be the end of t... #WestAsia #Authoritarianism #US #Bahrain #UntiedArabEmirates #Saleh #SaudiArabia #Yemen #MiddleEast #Democratization

What would the U.S. gain from revolutions in the Middle East and China?
Is this what the U.S. wants?©2011
A strange yet compelling theory was offered to me recently. The idea is that the current “revolutionary” disputes in the Middle East were instigated by the U.S., or at least by American interests. I would have ignored it as another wild conspiracy notion had it not occurred to me that such an action would help explain the continuing efforts by the U.S. to ignite a “Jasmine Revolution” in C... #WestAsia #Authoritarianism #Military #US #Revolution #China #MiddleEast #Democratization

How the U.S. helps the Al Qaeda in the Middle East
Why would the U.S. help preserve the Al Qaeda in West Asia?©2011
Since the 9/11 terror attack on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon Osama bin Laden and his Al Qaeda organization have topped Washington’s most wanted list. Billions of dollars and years have been spent to hunt for bin Laden and to eradicate Al Qaeda. In fact, U.S. soldiers are still in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The Middle East: West Asia and the Decline of the American Empire
The world not as we remember it.©2011
The West Asia side of the Middle East continues to reel from protests and demonstrations. The youth of Yemen have not given up despite the violence inflicted upon them recently. Bahrain is due for more anti-government outbursts. British Prime Minister Cameron admitted this past week that Western powers like his own and the U.S. were wrong to have supported the authoritarian states of West A... #WestAsia #UK #DeclineOfTheAmericanEmpire #US #Bahrain #China #Yemen #MiddleEast #Democratization

When China gets hungry. . . .
It's about the standard of living, not political ideals.©2011
How do you keep 1.3 billion people happy? The first priority is likely to ensure that everyone has enough to eat. That is a huge task, but one that China faces. Imagine if you have a billion people who are hungry and getting angry.

America's passive-aggressive relationship with Asia
The ugly American in Asia?©2011
As West Asia reels from spreading protests against standing governments it has been interesting to watch the reactions from Washington. Yemen, Jordan, and Bahrain, among others, have leaders anxiously dealing with outbursts of demonstrations demanding change. Some are certainly authoritarian and lacking in basic human and civil rights so that the public attitudes are quite understandable. What seems mystifying... #WestAsia #Authoritarianism #QuietRevolution #US #Jordan #Bahrain #China #Yemen #MiddleEast #Egypt #Democratization

The Middle East rush for democracy will have its innocent victims
Who will pay the price of democracy in West Asia?©2011
With the success of popular protests in the African states of Tunisia and Egypt the demand to remove autocratic leaders has spread to the Middle East. West Asia nations such as Bahrain and Yemen have had public demonstrations which have turned violent. The unpleasant side of ending tyranny could be far worse than most imagine.
