AH Challenge: US Involvement in Yemen or Oman

Your challenge is to get the USA military involved in either Oman or Yemen before September 11th 2001. Military involvement in support of humanitarian aid is acceptable, as long as it is not momentary.

Would this give bin Laden an even greater rationale to attack the US? Would the US involvement in Yemeni or Omani affairs change anything in that part of the world, either in the case of Somalia or Saudi Arabia? How would this affect the current "War on Terror"?
