Yemen ... I know ye from my posts

With all the news updates about the protests and proto-civil-war in Yemen, here are a few of my own posts about Yemen over the past few months:
About President "Uncle Ali" ... a Yemeni version of Musharraf
How even students in my class got all worked up about the status of women in Yemen--and this was in a class way back in March 2010!
Back in July 2010, the NY Times Magazine had a lengthy piece titled, "Is Yemen the Next Afghanistan?" ... to which my response then was, as is now, "The answer is a no-brainer!"
There is something seriously wrong when a bloke like me is able to follow events in a far away country and blog about them, only to realize that our government lags way behind in its policies.  If that is my case, imagine then the frustrations of phenomenally informed and qualified commentators like Juan Cole!

BTW, recall these Jon Stewart classics on Yemen?
