Cato's Discussion: "What to do about US support of the Saudis in the Yemen Civil War?"

Perhaps, no topic is more deserving of widespread discussion in the US as to how supportive of the Saudis should the US be in the former's pursuit of war in Yemen?    And, I am grateful that the Cato discussion raised the issue, no matter how couched in political verbiage it was handled (in my opinion).  The event took place in Washington, DC at the Cato Institute, December 7th, 2018.

The point could be made in a much larger historical context:  Should the US have become involved in the Medieval war waged by certain Christian states (known as the Crusades) to take over the Middle-East Palestinian peninsula--assuming the US had existed at the time?  But that is precisely what the US is doing today.  It has joined forces in a religious war between Sunnais and Shia'a Muslims in both Yemen and Somalia (so it would seem), favoring the Sunnai Muslims (e.g., Saudi Arabia) in both cases.  Even more outrageous. the US administration apparently never asked us citizens whether we want to become combatants in a religious war that is tearing apart at least two countries and killing countless number of civilians including children in the region?  How dare we become participants in a religious conflict that dates back to the time of Mohammed himself!  What is wrong with our national government!  Hooray, for President's dictum, Don't get involved!

So, now in Sweden, the UN is sponsoring cease-fire talks among the two ever-warring factions in the Muslim religion.  I hope the discussions enter the theological realm, so that there is some final resolve to the bitter hostilities that have marred the history of the world since the early centuries A.D. of the Muslim faith.  It is true the Middle Ages is replete with the bloodshed wrought over the many European Crusades, but cannot the Muslims learn from the horrors the Crusade annals record in Christianity? 

There is no hope until a Muslim unity challenges the option of war and its human annihilation as concomitant necessary effect.  And, please, let not the United States become involved on either side of  forces in some religious war either by supplying weaponry to the combatants or sending up our drones to wreak havoc in support of a particular religious, Muslim faction.
