Additional context to alleviate confusion about the friendly American
government refusing to rescue non-elite US citizens trapped in Yemen but
having no issue with rescuing and assisting Saudi bombers in Yemen:
In 1792, the Moravian Delaware Indians converted to Christianity at the gunpoints of their American conquerors.
Nonetheless, the Americans destroyed all of the Indians' food sources and, after allowing starvation to weaken them, "assured them of their sympathy in their great hunger and their intention to escort them to food and safety. Without suspicion ... the [forcibly converted] Christians agreed to go with them", and to be disarmed.
"The Christians felt safe with these friendly men whose interest in their welfare seemed genuine."
However, the Americans then bound, executed, and mutilated the corpses of these "twenty nine men, twenty seven women, and thirty four children".
"Massacres of this sort were so numerous and routine that recording them eventually becomes numbing..."
(Stannard, American Holocaust, pg. 125/6)
