    War is awful shit, but often used to end other much more awful, and less visible shit.

    You do realize we’re talking about the war on terror here right? If you think there’s something more awful than bombing an apartment building and killing 53 people being prevented by this shit then I don’t even know what to say.

        But this bombing wasn’t about the “deplorable shit” happening in Yemen. It was about access to easier shipping routes. Thats it.

        +50 dead in this attack so boats didn’t have to go around the horn of Africa.

        Okay, and you think these bombings will lead to a regime change in Yemen? The Saudis tried that first. Low to moderate level foreign conflicts with a widely hated enemy (which the West and Israel are) do nothing but strengthen the ruling government. Hell, even a full-scale war isn’t at all guaranteed to remove the rulers from power, because it gives them legitimacy that they otherwise lack. This is why Hamas is still in power despite 18 years of blockades, three wars and a genocide.
