is a Muslim nation on the southeastern tip of
the Arabian Peninsula with a weak central
government and possessing many indicators of a
nation on the verge of falling apart. Yemen is
plagued with a rebellion in the north by a
Shiite Muslim sect, a separatist insurgency in
the south, and a growing al-Qaida
presence that draws the attention of the United
States and is quickly turning Yemen into a
leading front in the War on Jihadist Terror. The
Yemeni government is fighting multiple wars
within its own borders, and recently enlisted
the aid of powerful neighbor Saudi Arabia in
helping to fight one of those wars. Outside
