rest in reason, move in passion
We cannot be sure of having something to live for unless we are willing to die for it. – Che Guavara
Yemen updates
Protesters defaced a poster of Saleh at a rally outside Sana'a University last week
Yemen's president seems to be losing support woho.. more resignations.. yesterday we witnesssed the biggest massacre in Yemen..killign over 70 and wounding over 200.. After the violent crackdown on anti govt protests Ali Saleh held a press conferance in which he declared a nationwide state of emergency.
what is a state of emergency? another way of saying MARSHALL LAW!... Declaring a state of emergency for 30 days. although unconstitutional he's doing it anyway. A state of emergency puts severe limits on personal freedom in Yemen but it's not like they had any anyway?.. now they REALLY won't.

"The government can investigate or detain anyone it likes without being bound by current laws, it allows government to censor the press, limits public gatherings, gives security forces the right to enter any building at any time, limits weapons and makes travel between different govern-orates permissible only with presidential approval."
He based his dumb decision by the country's National Security Council.

Yemeni govt employees, they pissed!
Unfortunately i don't know much about the people in government but today a couple more government employees have resigned in response to yesterday horrible massacre in which Ali Saleh continues to deny he had any role in.
Uncle Faisal Aboras, ambassador of Lebanon Jamila raja, and Nasser Taha Mustapha of Saba Agency have also called their resignation. Now, I was told that Nasser's resignation is by far the biggest DEAL ever ! he's the right wing man to Ali Saleh.... NOW WHAT PUNK!!!
French takes the first hit on Gaddafi..
I'm not sure what to think of the no fly zone. At first i was really excited and thankful for sarkozy's ability to throw missiles at qaddafi forces but then i began to realize.. a no fly zone will only enable the US. to enter into Libya... and what will we see? another afghanistan and Iraq!..
Todays anti-war protest At the white house was organized by Code pink and answer coalition, we joined forces and chanted together, the anti-war movement has strongly opposed all U.S. threats that were targeting Libya. They called an end to Iraqs war and an end to Afghanistans war.. it's been 8 YRS since the launch of the Iraq war, i mean comon already more than a million lives have been taken for no absolute reason except selfishness. the U.S. government is threatening another war, this time in Libya. the no-fly zone seems like it could be a good thing but there is a fine line in which the U.S, could easily end up pulling an iraq on Libya. This is a critical.
