Now Osama Bin Laden was thought to be in Afghanistan, but only 8 miles from the Pakistan border Afghanistan's political instability and control by the Taliban made them the most likely candidate for war. Yemen is completely unstable, and without a formal government for a year. Elements in the country support ISIS, but they are not necessarily ground zero. But Yemen seems more of a candidate than Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, or Syria. |
