Mourn Barcelona, but don't ignore US war crimes in Yemen


The humanitarian catastrophe the US is helping Saudi Arabia carry out in neighboring Yemen dwarfs the atrocity in Barcelona. While the media wing of the war party blares 24/7 coverage of the hundred plus dead and wounded in Spain, they totally ignore the 20,000 slaughtered and millions facing starvation and cholera thanks to Uncle Sam's bombs, drones, planes and free mid air fuel for the grotesque Saudi warriors. Yemen is the dirty war that dare not speak its name. Human Rights Watch rightly asserts that by providing logistical and intelligence assistance to Saudi Arabia and its coalition forces, "the United States may have become a party to the conflict, creating obligations under the laws of war". There's no 'may be' about it; Uncle Sam should be in the dock at The Hague. And your and my tax dollars are funding this madness.
Anytime America wants to demonize or even attack another country we make up stuff about how they're committing atrocities against their own or neighboring peoples. We sure know what we're talking about.....we're the champs when it comes to such inhuman behavior.
