So Saudi Arabia threw in their army, navy, and air force to smash up the uprising:
Saudi Arabia is trying to set up a buffer zone inside Yemen after its week-long offensive against the Yemeni Shiite insurgents along the border, a rebel spokesman said Wednesday.
Mohammed Abdel Salam said Saudi warplanes and artillery have been shelling deep into border areas to create the zone and drive the rebels away.
"Their goal seems to be establishing a buffer zone or a no man's land on the border," he said in a telephone interview from the rebels' strongholds in Yemen's northern Saada province. "It is obvious, they are trying to scare us and make us leave the area."
Saudi Arabia launched an air and ground offensive against the Yemeni rebels last week after skirmishes along the border. Both Saudi Arabia and Yemen have accused Shiite Iran of backing the rebels raising concerns of another proxy war in the Middle East between region's Shiite and Sunni powers.
And as a bonus when Pakistan or Saudi Arabia goes to war with hopped up Islamists, nobody dares accuse them of anything bad! These countries have the Third World get-out-of-jail card that shields them from charges of killing brown skinned people from the air!
And Saudi Arabia will set up their buffer zone and security fence with no complaints from the United Nations or anybody!
Sometimes, life is just good.
