Yemen left with little wiggle room

Yemen left with little wiggle room

The Yemeni government is in a bind. If Sana'a doesn't break up al-Qaeda cells, the likely United States military intervention would probably result in a greatly expanded armed resistance. If the government casts too wide a net, it risks tribal rebellion and other civil unrest. Either way, it would increase support for extremist elements. - Stephen Zunes (Jan 12, '10)
