#6 If I thought these deliquents would be ambitious enough to deliver papers are do something constructive other than dream about their future, I would open a 7-11 or a Domino's franchise in Sanaa. After chewing grass for several hours, I bet a slurpee would hit the spot.

#8 This is way overblown folks. Chewing kat leads to a mild buzz. It's like drinking 2 beers, that's it. Nothing like smoking pot or using ANY kind of amphetamine.

#9 AbuHamza, That's sad, I think if you're going to do something do it right. That includes drugs, school, racing, war, marriage and dreaming.

#10 Shipman, what's really sad is spending half one's income to buy cud laced with Red Bull. Maybe an entrepreneurial Yemeni will combine khat with Chia-pet technology and become wealthy enough to found a library or somehting.
