4. Saudi-led troops to Syria — why not?

The Yemeni government with the support of the Saudi-led alliance is winning in Yemen. A year ago, it was the other way around. The militia was on the verge of capturing Aden. Today, Sanaa is on the verge of being returned to the legitimate government.

More than 90 percent of Yemen is now under President Hadi’s rule. The development and rebuilding of the country has already started with the help of neighboring Gulf States. That is more of a success than what NATO could claim in Afghanistan, the US in Iraq and the International Alliance in Syria.

With such track record, Saudi Arabia and allies could go on with a good chance of success to fight terrorism in Syria. They suffered a great deal and had enough of terrorists. Daesh and Al-Qaeda had never attacked Iran, Russia, Israel or Bashar’s regime. In fact, Al-Qaeda headquarters have been based in Iran since 2002. Before and after, they have attacked Saudi Arabia and other Sunni countries repeatedly.

With or without the “axis of evil” permission, the world community will come together strong and united. Whether the “mothership” of terrorism (Iran) likes it or not, the international community will take the fight from its backyard to that of Daesh.
