There is ominous use by American politicians and commentators of the phrase "failed state" in relation to Yemen, as if this some how legitimised foreign intervention.

By Ted Rall

Obama Indicates Escalating US Military Involvement in Yemen

Maya Schenwar, Truthout: "This morning, President Barack Obama for the first time attributed the attempted Christmas Day bombing of a Detroit-bound plane to al-Qaeda. In his weekly radio address, Obama painted the bombing attempt as an act of war. He reiterated his intent to continue fighting the US's 'war against a far-reaching network of violence and hatred,' indicating that Yemen could be the next major site of US military involvement."
