Should we go in Yemen now?

yes, if we have actionable intelligence that al-Zawahri or another high level al Qaeda operative was there. At this point, there really isn't much question that this what Obama would do. There could be some complicating factors about Yemen and diplomacy that I don't understand, but I trust that Obama and/or Clinton would work those out. But they would and should take that shot.
I think this point is well-taken, Dakota. President Obama's decision was based on very carefully developed intelligence on a specific target. If he has similar intelligence and a comparable opportunity with al-Zawahiri in Yemen, i suspect he will order another assassination. But in the mission to kill OBL, we didn't really "go into Pakistan" in a military sense. We swooped in, killed him, grabbed material and his corpse, and swooped out.
