Osama bin Laden was a Yemeni-Saudi although both nations have revolked his citizenship.

Saudi Arabia is much more in control than Yemen is, which is incredibly poor, and has a much weaker central government. There won't be an attack of Yemen, expect a lot fo aid to their government to overcome their issues with terrorism, and more missile strikes, possibly bombings.

I wonder what caused the US to act now? A sudden attack of sanity?
17 out of 19 of the 9/11/01 airline hijackers were Yemeni - the other 2 were Saudi.
Osama bin Laden was a Yemeni-Saudi although both nations have revolked his citizenship.
The US already attacked Afghanistan where some of the hijacker's trained (some of them also trained in Florida and Germany) and Iraq which had nothing to do with Al-Qaeda (Saddam Hussein was an enemy of Al-Qaeda).
Should the US finally attack Yemen? What about Saudi Arabia?
Discuss.

Fifteen of the hijackers were from Saudi Arabia, two from the United Arab Emirates, one from Egypt, and one from Lebanon.
No. The US should get the fuck out of the middle east and stay the fuck out. That will make it safer.

Safer maybe, probably not, but maybe. You will have to say goodbye to your largest source of foreign oil supplies as China and India take them from you though.

During Dessert Storm, when we used Saudi Arabia and Kuwait as staging points, Osama bin Laden urged Saudi Arabia no to let is do it because "they will never leave". He was right. We have bases in Japan and Germany. The US government seems to have forgotten the fact that WWII has been over for almost 65 years. Meddling in other people's affairs does not make us safer. It makes us a target.
