In Yemen, It\u2019s The Bad Guys Vs. The Bad Guys<\/a><\/h3>\n

Saudi Arabia and Egypt stand poised to conduct a massive ground invasion of Yemen, and the western media will be full of tales about how \u201cOperation Decisive Storm\u201d is liberating that country from the evil Iranian-backed Houthi rebels.\u00a0 And without a doubt, the Houthis are bad guys and\u00a0so are their Iranian benefactors<\/a>.\u00a0 But don\u2019t be fooled into thinking that the war in Yemen is a battle of good vs. evil.\u00a0 The truth is that the conflict in Yemen is actually a proxy war between two sets of bad guys that both ultimately plan for Islam to take over the entire planet.\u00a0 On one side, the Iranians are very honest about the fact that they view us as an enemy, and they plan to impose their version of radical Shia Islam worldwide as soon as they can.\u00a0 On the other side, the Saudis pretend to be our friends, but they don\u2019t hide the fact that they believe that their version of Sunni Islam will eventually rule the world.\u00a0 And their version of Sunni Islam includes constant beheadings, the destruction of all churches and the death penalty for anyone caught smuggling a Bible into Saudi territory.\u00a0 At the end of the day, there is very little difference between the Saudis and ISIS.\u00a0 In fact, ISIS gets a lot of funding from Saudi sources, and there is more support for ISIS on Twitter from Saudi Arabia than from anywhere else.\u00a0 Saudi Arabia is a horribly repressive regime where women are treated like dirt, where the secret police conduct a never ending reign of terror and where even a minor deviation from sharia law can mean the loss of a limb.\u00a0 But because our politicians and the mainstream media constantly tell us that they are \u201cour friends\u201d, we cheer them on.<\/p>\n
