¶2. Post appreciates the opportunity to distribute 
and place this and similar opinion columns in the 
Yemeni media.  For future such offerings, post 
offers two recommendations.  First, post suggests 
that op-eds be translated in Washington, at least 
into major world languages, to avoid duplicative 
effort (and to ensure consistency in language). 
Second, post suggests that op-ed authors ensure 
that a recent photograph is available on the State 
Intranet or at the Operations Center to 
accommodate last-minute requests.
