However, if the US decided later that it wasn't cool with Yemen having those SCUDs it wouldn't be much of a thing to take them out. You can't exactly hide them well in the desert.

It doesn't matter *why* they need them. What right does one country have to intercept a legal trade of goods between two sovereign nations? None. Such blockades are either acts of war, or of piracy, and either way not on the up-and-up.
