I am Suhail Basalama, an international student from Yemen, a poor, war-torn country that most people have not even heard about.

faced.” However, these changes bring the morality of this new face of war into question, and the justification of drone use and other modern military tactics involved in the war on terror is a subject of much debate. Focusing on U.S. involvement in Yemen from 2010-2015 as part of the war on terror, this essay will argue that, while the U.S. has met most of the criteria of jus ad bellum, the methods the U.S. has employed to counter terrorist organizations such as al Qaeda have ultimately violated the
tension surrounds religion, specifically whether the government should be religiously based or secular. Four countries, Libya, Yemen, Egypt and Syria, are rife with civil protest.
