Let's just look at a chain of events. There are wars in Iraq that were justified by lies told by the US president at the time and repeated on the mass media for some time. These wars resulted in many deaths, and radicalized the population into anti-western violent stances. Communities got together across borders in order to resist western attacks, the war in Iraq grew into the war in Syria, and the war in Yemen (just like president Bush Jr said on camera, by the way he listed Iran as well, that was back in 2002). Saudi Arabia, Israel, and the US attacked Yemen, using drones and missiles to kill children in schools and at weddings. A school bus was targeted and all of the children in it killed by a drone, a hospital was targeted and it was claimed to be aiding hostiles. Hostile what? Hostile people that are angry foreign countries are killing their children? I would be pretty fucking hostile too.
Now the NGO's are going in. They want to go against the culture of Yemen, they want to "rescue" the girls and women. The girls and women there are already victims of western influence. To say that I oppose this is a massive understatement. This is what enslaving other nations looks like.
