 Closing Time in YemenPosted on Jan 3, 2010
Both the U.K. and U.S. temporarily closed their embassies in Yemen “for security reasons” on Sunday after increasing concern about al-Qaida threats in the capital city of Sana’a. Yemen has been under heightened scrutiny after the 2009 Christmas Day attempt to blow up a U.S. airliner was traced to the Middle Eastern country.

I agree in principle Gerard but I think your calculus is a little off ... how about:
Terrorists in Afghanistan = war against Iraq.
Terrorists in Pakistan = war against Afthanistan.
Terrorists in Israel and Gaza = war against Gaza.
Terrorists in Saudi Arabia and Yemen = war against Yemen.
You see the war industry doesn’t really give a crap about who is being fought or why as long as the fighting is maintained.

Oh no! Our own Arab Legion might attack our own embassies! Let’s be really scared! Let’s give up more civil rights! Woo hoo!

hello. i agree the goal must be 8000 simultaneous skirmishes around the globe. these militarists are insane, hanging on from a time when we wanted these warriors. if only we could warehouse them, and wheel them back out when needed in 2030; or whenever. they are a dying generation, from experiences nobody wants to repeat; but ones without which: they have no reason to live. there was a time when pacifists were not willing to smash-in their craniums, in the name of peace; but times have changed. if only the government would involve them in a huge global project, with retraining. this is presently how our government tells them to serve us.

CARE AND FEEDING OF THE MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX
Economies need war because war means jobs.
War increases terrorists. “Terrorists” are enemies.
More terrorists = more counter-terrorists = more wars.
Terrorists in Iraq = war against Iraq.
Terrorists in Afghanistan = war against Afthanistan.
Terrorists in Gaza = war against Gaza.
Terrorists in Yemen = war against Yemen.
And so forth and so on, as Terrorists increase.
Continual war employs young men on both sides (terrorist/counterterrorist) who otherwise cannot find jobs to earn a living. International Krieg’s List?
