This tolerated discrimination

Let's make it clear again what is going on in front of the world in Yemen so that no one can deny this middle age's like discrimination stigma in the future. The Saudi government is allowed to go outside its border to attack a group of people in another country without being threatened in any way just because it does not like them .  

Clearly I am not with those rebels in Yemen if they are not for building a democratic system. But it is not the establishment of a democracy the Saudi government wants there.

Again, I need to know, as part of this country, that I am standing with a just cause in the actions this president is taking in Yemen. 
Even if he can do things here because of his authority, he has no authority on people outside. So, when he stands with and supports attacking others outside like he is doing there then he needs to provide us in this country with a just explanation.

In addition to supporting the Saudi government in continuing its targeting of the Shia to Yemen, I don't know why this president discriminate by treating some people at a lesser standard than others. I don't know why instead of trying to support the wining of democracy he seems to prefer to let fighting declare who is in control like animals. In Yemen instead of just feeding the rebels there like mice to his pet snake, the Saudi government, trading in people like objects, he could at least call on those rebels to send a representation to see what of their demands are valid or can be satisfied to provide answers to fears in that an implementation of a democratic system would not skip giving them equal rights. By that I mean equal voting rights and constitutional protection rights. He may also need to point out the separation of root issues from higher level ones which could be dealt with later. In addition, people may associate a process with an end result of it so strongly that they refuse the process itself instead of that specific end result. For example, one needs to make sure if whatever issues those rebels may have with federalism are fears from being not treated equally with such separation and not federalism itself.

Where are the plans for democracy?

While one needs to take into account how one dictatorship could be worse than the other, the rebels in Yemen should understand that all dictatorships are not acceptable not just those preferred by the Saudi government. If they haven't done so already, those rebels need to declare clear and detailed plans for creating a real democratic government. It is not a bad idea to see how other democratic countries did it and consider borrowing from their constitutions instead of reinventing the wheel.They could make those plans and declare them to the world and it should be able to see if attacks by the Saudi government impede those plans .  
The Saudis are simply interfering and attacking a group in a different country because they don't like them and this president is making us support and back such level of discrimination in front of the whole world.

And the legitimacy the Saudis claim comes through the request of help from the deposed president is at least invalid claim because, as I mentioned earlier, his presidency was established through a "presidential election" in Yemen "on 21 February 2012" were he as "Acting President Abd Rabbuh Mansur al-Hadi was the only candidate in the election. He was sworn in as president of Yemen on 25 February 2012 in the Presidential Palace...Hadi won 99.8 percent of the vote".
So he himself  can hardly be seen as truly elected president and therefore has no legitimacy especially against others from the same country.
