If I hear that Yemen is the “Ancestral home of Osama Bin Laden” one more time I am going to puke. This is one of the two phrases that always accompanies any mention of Yemen in the US press. The other phrase is “Site of the bombing of the USS Cole.” The Cole happened in 2000 and OSAMA WAS BORN IN SAUDI ARABIA!!! Sure, his father was born in Yemen, but so what? How come you never see, “Saudi Arabia, birthplace of Osama Bin Laden,” or even better yet, “Saudi Arabia, birthplace of more terrorists than you can shake a stick at…” Yeah, it’s fricking Saudi, not Yemen, Iran, Syria, Libya, or even Palestine, it’s Saudi fricking Arabia. Quit picking on Yemen, this place has enough problems, no need to saddle it with the responsibility of Osama too…
