    I watched this video. And I realized that there’s children and innocent children, men, and women, dying for something their ancestors, or neighbours, or even people they’ve never even met. They are being murdered for those people actions. I don’t know a lot about what’s going on in Yemen or how we are related to the attacks. But I think it’s wrong to be attacking the families of the soldiers. We wouldn’t want the same thing happening to us. America can’t believe that innocent children and women would have suicide bombs and kill themselves to save their country. After I watched this video I am half and half believing anf comtemplating. Theoretically, maybe the country isn’t making these children and women kill themselves and out soldiers for the sake of their country. Ever think that maybe their take their suicide as revenge. Revenge against us - the innocents(them) - for bombing their loved ones. Theoretically, they’re thinking, if I can’t bomb the President, I can bomb his soldiers. What if the Africans wanted revenge. I mean “we” striked first. We came to their country, their home, pulled them out of their beds, took one look and didn’t understand their culture. Treated them like shit. Made them slaves. Made them the bottom of the human food chain. They didn’t retaliate. I’m contemplating if this is true, maybe because since 2002 or 2004 this propaganda on how all Yemen citizens are terrorists have plagued my mind. Leave it be. The leader is dead. You killed him. Let it go.

    I felt that it showed one very opinionated side to a story that could have been expressed more universally.
