These people really are quite savage. Feels like it is the Dark Ages over there. All because of a youtube clip. I guess they never saw Honey Boo Boo. That would really cause a world War.[/quote]

I think the fact that US drones are killing Yemeni civilians on a near-daily basis might also have something to do with their anger.

So let's get out entirely. You know, sort of like we did in Afghanistan in the 1990s. [/quote]

In Afghanistan, we armed groups that eventually turned against us. Maybe the problem wasn't getting out, but getting in in the first place? In Libya, we supported groups that have now turned against us (the group accused of attacking the consulate has ties to the Libyan Interior Ministry). Maybe we should have paid attention to history? In Syria, we are supporting groups that will eventually turn against us. Apparently, we are not good learners. In Yemen, our involvement is simply creating more enemies. I don't think it's the getting out, but the getting in that is causing us the most trouble
