I remember when Obama said Yemen was a great example of his winning strategy. Then he said it was too dangerous to send in the US Marines.

The real problem with Yemen starvation is the drug khat usually compared t marijuana. 60% of the farmland in Yemen is devoted to growing kaht they cannot grow enough food to feed themselves the desire for kaht is that strong.

Stop all imports of food. The Yemeni's can grow food if they let go of khat. We might be in the same place in a few years.
