In Yemen, The Dance of Daggers - By FP correspondents | Foreign Policy:
"In happier times, President Ali Abdullah Saleh and top general Ali Mohsin al-Ahmar treated camera crews to the spectacle at a public celebration in Sanaa, the capital.
Today, and for almost a month running, their daggers are heavy artillery, their audience Yemen's abortive protest movement, and their dance floor a prone country whose future depends on the outcome of their duel.
Nine months into a nationwide popular uprising, the reality facing this impoverished southern Arabian nation is bleaker than ever. "
