Ishaan Tharoor, Washington Post: What Saudi Arabia’s bombing of Yemen means for the Middle East
In the early hours of Thursday morning, Saudi Arabia bombed positions in Yemen held by Houthi militias, a rebel force that had already thrown out sitting President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi from the capital, Sanaa, and was on the verge of ousting him from his last redoubt in the key southern port city of Aden.
"We will do whatever it takes in order to protect the legitimate government of Yemen from falling," said Adel al-Jubeir, Saudi ambassador to the United States, at a media briefing on Wednesday night.
Saudi media reported that the campaign, dubbed Operation Decisive Storm, was coordinated with a coalition of other Arab countries — primarily Sunni Gulf states already closely allied with Riyadh.

Before reading this article I was ready to trash it and it's author, but upon reading it I'll will say it's not bad. Never the less, I maintain that any commenter on this site (whether or not I agree with their politics or analysis) is more competent than just about any that inhabit the Press.
A professional librarian usually has a Masters degree in library science and a M.S. in some other field such as English, Art, Engineering, etc.
When you get a professional librarian you are getting someone of some substance and one who does not have a narrow education.
Now compare that to a journalist.
Col. Pat Lang and Moon of Alabama have been covering Yemen for a long time. what you will find there is better than anything you will find in the MSM.
