If you'll recall one of the big foreign policy nightmares circa 2005-2006 was the possibility that U.S. withdrawal from Iraq would lead to a destabilizing proxy war between Sunni-led Saudi Arabia and Shiite Iran. We stuck around and that didn't happen. But we may now be getting it anyway... in Yemen.

Except Iraq is strategically important, for oil, geography, history, size, etc. Who cares about Yemen. Seriously, if the Iranians and Saudi want to have a proxy fight there, it's not our business. We should focus on not letting the Iranians get nukes. That's it. As long as they don't have nuclear weapons, the Saudi's wont need them.
