"We have been warned - and we have been shown the way. Which of us now has the courage to walk Yemen's path to liberation?"

Dear Karim: I agree with your essay and I definitely have the courage to walk Yemen's path, although I don't know if a 69 year old grandmother would be much help. However, I do what I can in terms of getting the word out and donating monthly to Doctors Without Borders, etc.

I'm a retired U.S. diplomat (State Department Arabist) who served in many countries in the Middle East, and in Washington, D.C. And I agree with everything you wrote. (Pontificate on that for a few minutes BettBeats professors.) I agree with Karim on EVERYTHING he wrote. And a good number of my former colleagues (now retired State Dept.) do, also. We went along with Iraq, but Gaza has turned us all (or at least many of us) against State.
