Don't ignore America's filthy Yemen war

Do even 2 of 100 Americans know we're helping the Saudis destroy Yemen to rid their tiny, impoverished neighbor of Shi'ite rebels that took over the capital Sana? For twenty-seven months now Uncle Sam has been providing intelligence, logistical support and, oh yes, tens of billions in US weaponry to perpetrate the starvation of millions of Yemenis not blown up by Uncle's bombs. And the justification for these crimes against humanity, aside from the totalitarian Saudi government being our best Middle East buddy and WMD customer, is that the Saudis pitch this madness as a proxy war against their real target Iran, whom the US sees as its biggest Middle East threat as well. Mainstream media dare not expose US war crimes in Yemen for fear of losing access to information, the only currency of any news outlet. Compounding Saudis' crimes is that Yemen is now a failed state, inspiring both Al Qaeda and Islamic State to plant their flag and grow a new franchise. But that don't bother the US war party. They use new extremist moves caused by crazed US foreign policy to demand more and more and more for the grotesquely bloated US military. That vicious cycle of war and more war is good for the war party...bad for humanity.
