Sadly events in Yemen show Three Kisses is realistic

September 2, 2009 by Heath

Over the past year or so, several events show the continued instability in Yemen. Villagers in the north of Yemen continue to battle each other over control of territory. Saudis are accused of infiltrating to stir up trouble in Yemen. The U.S. worries out loud that Yemen will become the next staging area for al Qaeda. Is it any wonder that the community that is now in Lackawanna fled to get away from that. It is no surprise that al Qaeda in the form of Mohammad Fadel would tag along and get involved in activities in the US. And of course Omar would prefer to stay in the US and become the imam at the largest mosque in Washington DC rather than go back.
