Massacre in Yemen: and the deal on Libya

Yemen is a different story, I guess. I don't see the Western crocodile tears being shed.  I don't see sudden indignation and the sudden discovery--was in Libya--that the leader there is a dictator.  US/Saudi Arabia want Salih in power no matter what.  Notice that the story is being played down in US media.  Notice that it was US that requested that Arab countries (Qatar, UAE and Jordan) play a role in Libya.  I mean, what do you think of a resolution that requires the intervention of the likes of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UAE, and Jordan to secure "democracy" for Libya?  This is a sham.  Don't buy that Saudi Arabia is acting without US support in Bahrain.  Who are they fooling.  Saudi Arabia is not Israel: it does not act without prior knowledge, nay request from, of the US.  This is all coordinated.  I wish to revise something I said about the shameful coverage of Aljazeera (or lack there of) in the case of Bahrain.  I don't believe that the decision on Bahrain was purely a deal between Saudi Arabia and Qatar: i strongly believe that it was a US-Qatar deal as well.  Yesterday, the narrator reported a story on Bahrain on Aljazeera: it concluded bizarrely by calling for "dialogue" between government and opposition.  That makes one wonders: why does not Aljazeera hold the same stance on Libya? The plot thickens.  Saudi Arabia and US and Israel are trying to abort the Arab uprisings one by one: the charade in Libya is not to enhance the Arab change movement: it is aimed at undermining it everywhere.
