	Special Report
		Although Yemen, which occupied one of the rotating seats on the 15-nation UN Security Council at the time of the Iraqi invasion, voted for corrective action against Iraq, Yemen has declined to send military units to join soldiers from other Arab countries in the US-led military buildup.
		North Yemen, by contrast, was never colonized by any Western power and, although it has accepted Soviet military and economic assistance, it has been generally pro-Western.
		Unfortunately, North Yemen has already spent a lot of that income: Shortly after oil was discovered, the government increased spending dramatically, in anticipation of oil revenue.
