Yemen does not have the strategic interest Iraq does - Oil. Don't try to tell me oil is at least a major factor in attacking Iraq. Saddam is also less likely to generate as much Islamic backlash as attacking Yemen would. Thirdly the US has officers (around 100 i think) in Yemen, training the Yemeni army so i doubt it's on the hitlist so far.
