here Last week something
historic happened in the US Senate. For the
first time in 45 years, a chamber of the US
Congress voted to pull US forces from a
military conflict under the 1973 War Powers
Act.
While there is plenty to criticize in the
War Powers Act, in this situation it was an
important tool used by a broad Senate
coalition to require President Trump to end
US participation in the Saudi war against
Yemen. And while the resolution was not
perfect – there were huge loopholes – it has
finally drawn wider attention to the US
Administration’s dirty war in Yemen.
The four year Saudi war on neighboring Yemen
has left some 50,000 dead, including many
women and children. We’ve all seen the
horrible photos of school buses blown up by
the Saudis – using US-supplied bombs loaded
into US-supplied aircraft. Millions more
face starvation as the infrastructure is
decimated and the ports have been blocked to
keep out humanitarian aid.
Stopping US participation in this brutal war
is by itself a wise and correct move, even
if it comes years too late.
