Boys and men chant slogans during
a protest against Saudi-led airstrikes
in Sanaa, Yemen

The other day at a local SOAWatch vigil I heard someone say that in countries suppressed by the USA, like Guatemala, the people of the country do not blame the people of the USA for their troubles but the USA government and big corporate interest. This may still be true for some countries in Latin America but it seems less and less true, especially in the war torn countries in the Middle East.

A good example is in the bombing last Saturday by Saudi Arabia of a funeral service in Yemen, killing 140 people and injuring more than 500. In 2011, Hillary Clinton and her closest aides in the State Department celebrated a $29.4 billion sale of over 80 F-15 fighter jets, manufactured by U.S.-based Boeing Corporation, to Saudi Arabia. The arms sales were very profitable to the Clinton Foundation. In the years before Hillary Clinton became secretary of state, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia contributed at least $10 million to the Clinton Foundation and just two months before the deal was finalized, Boeing — the defense contractor that manufactures one of the fighter jets the Saudis were especially keen to acquire, the F-15 – contributed $900,000 to the Clinton Foundation.

The country of Yemen,once friendly, to the USA, had been devastated by US drone and bombing attacks. Now Saudi Arabia, US surrogate, using US military equipment, like F-15 fighter jets and cluster bombs, is wrecking death to Yemeni peoples. As of August, 2016 the UN conservative estimates over 10,000 people of Yemen have been killed in civil war and millions displaced.

The people of Yemen, as people in our countries being devastated, know that is it is not just government leaders like Obama and Clinton but it is the American people who support these leaders that are responsible. When I was in Haiti in 2010, I was surprised that the Haitian people called President Clinton the ‘devil’. Those of us who elected Bill Clinton and President Obama must take some of the blame for these deaths. Those who vote for Hilary Clinton will need to take some of the blame for the bloodshed in Yemen and other countries. The blood is on our hands.
