Is Anybody Listening?!?!

Marc Lynch has just published an article in Foreign Policy called "The Costs of Ignoring Yemen." Sadly, I think the USG will continue to ignore Yemen, as the costs incurred by the current administration are negligible.

Today, Sana'a International Airport was closed for the first time since demonstrations began early in the year. Yesterday, Yemeni security forces opened fire on peaceful protesters with anti-aircraft weaponry.

Yemeni Opposition Groups Establish National Governing Council

You know, just because the opposition says it's going to establish a council doesn't mean they will. This must be the hundredth or so announcement of this type out of Yemen in the last 100 days.

Anyone else getting tired of this?
