Here’s an idea:

The Houthi’s can just not launch missiles at ships

I'm tired of this kind of lazy rhetoric.

Why are the Houthi's committing violence?

I have a feeling it has less to do with a foundational nature of evil, and everything to do with a population being impoverished, oppressed, and forgotten.

Instead of spending 1.2 billion dollars bombing them, maybe purchasing 600 million dollars of their chief export would be a better idea.

Empower the legitimate businesses and the people in the region who aren't launching missiles instead of ravaging the region and creating a new generation of 'militant rebels'.
