#2  Given my depression about the state of the world and country I'm glad to find I can still laugh at them.

It does tend to reinforce my somewhat isolationist view that we should find a way to continually support the internecine warfare over there with as little overt action or side picking as possible. Keep them continually at each others throats and only really whack them if they make a move to escape from the sandbox.

Wonderful dry humour. Among the many gems:

"Al-Qaeda has taken advantage of this situation to expand its presence in Yemen, and recently acquired an airport. Though this might sound worrying, it does bring with it the satisfaction of knowing that al-Qaeda now has to worry about airport security."
