TEHRAN (FNA) - The Yemeni army and popular forces hit a strategic military air base in Asir province in Southern Saaudi Arabia with Scud missiles, killing tens of high-ranking Saudi officers and commanders and destroying over two dozen F-15 fighter jets and Apache helicopters.

At least 66 high-ranking Saudi army officers, including two senior commanders, were killed when the Yemeni missiles hit Khamis Mushait air base in Asir province in retaliation for the kingdom's aggression against their nation.

The Yemeni forces also destroyed 17 F-15 fighter planes and 9 Apache helicopters.

About 300 Saudi officers were also injured in the Yemeni missile attack on Khamis Mushait air base.

So, in your book, which of the many terrorist cities need blowing up first?

I’m thinking some serious nation-unbuilding might just be a pretty good deterrent to terrorism.

I think that history shows those willing to read a history book that America, more than any country in the world, can get pissed off enough to flatten ENEMY cities with no regard for civilian casualties.

Cities that come to mind are Berlin, Dresden and Tokyo.

So, a long term plan for residents of Tehran, Mecca and Riyadh might be to move.
