Unhappy Arabia: Where the Hot Wind Blows

By: Hassan Al-Haifi

The War in Sa'ada has now practically turned into a full blown regional confrontation with the balance of power seemingly in an awkward position. It is now certain that the leaders on both sides of the "international" divide that represents the de facto border between the Republic of Yemen and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia have stumbled into a fiasco that reflects their poor intellect at knowing their own strengths. Time and again, this observer has warned that this kind of spontaneous decision making only leads to disaster and more chaos than both of the regimes in Riyadh and Sana'a have ever conjured up throughout the years of their unholy existence and they have indeed been the source of havoc in more than one region and not just country. It is inescapably unforgivable to sit and watch these two regimes plunge the good peoples of both Yemen and Saudi Arabia into relentless warfare that satisfies the drives of no one except the ever hungry warlords of both countries, who never seem to have enough of anything. It is easy to see that these warlords have eaten a lot of the good resources of this bountiful peninsula and shed the blood of its inhabitants and the inhabitants of other lands in fruitless adventures from New York City to Kandahar, not to mention the Wars in Iraq, Chechnya, Somalia and every little niche where so called Al-Qaeda and other corny named clandestine operatives are unleashing their blood poisoning verve of hate, sadism and masochism. One cannot help but wonder at the might of the Al-Mighty as he has turned this sanctified Peninsula into a graveyard for those who seek to turn it into a bastion of evil when the Lord Al-Mighty had ordained that it should be a land of holiness, spiritual respite and eternal peace. No, this is not an attempt to cry wolf in support of any particular ideology. These are inescapable observation of the facts of life that are unfolding daily to show that those who forget the true might of the Divine and seek to arrange an unholy partnership of their scheming with the wonderful workings of the Lord have no place in the destiny of mankind as the Lord Al-Mighty had laid out when the First Man laid his feet on this Earth after ignoring the Early warnings of the Al-Mighty to those who set aside God's warnings of the evil inclinations of Satan and their own ignorance.
Now that the War in Sa'ada is beginning to penetrate to the inner depths of the Saudi Kingdom, it is time to recall that reason is better than the reliance on spontaneous whims driven by narrow-minded interests that have no regard for the right of human beings to live in peace. These vagabonds have ignored the rights of all the inhabitants of this richly endowed peninsula to enjoy the unlimited wealth and bounty the Lord has exclusively granted to the Holy Land where His prophets trekked and toiled as they strove to bring humanity onto the right path He has solely ordained for humanity to trek on. It is sad to think that these misfits have thought that they can bear the banner of Allah Al-Mighty and kill and plunder in His name without being subject to accountability by their very Creator. But the ignoramuses who have been spreading the evil work of the devil far and wide have always been the worst victims of their own undertakings as the wrath of the Al-Mighty is unleashed upon them from where they least expect it.One is bound to keep one's eyes open wide as the events of the next few weeks and months unfold as one watches the folly of human judgment reap its unholy harvest against those who have forgotten that mankind deserves to be spared the horrible renditions of running the affairs of their own kind, which they have adopted for no one's sake except to fulfill their ego driven inclinations of infidelity to the teachings of the Old Testament, the New Testament and the Holy Quran throughout this world. Yes, the War in Sa'ada is proving to be more than just a mere rebellion of a gang of "Believing Youth" or "Infiltrators". Whether they liked it or not, the instigators of this most phenomenal of confrontations have dug their own inescapable pits of the folly of their doings as they suffer defeat upon defeat by unusually highly skilled heretofore unknown masters of the Art of War, which the rulers of Sana'a and Riyadh are the last to know about mastering, although they purport to be its sole masters and propagators.
