Another War for the US in Yemen?

EIN News says, "Yemen Fighting Halts Flights, U.S. Sends Envoy to Region
Overnight clashes in the Yemeni capital killed dozens more people and grounded flights as a U.S. envoy arrived in the region to press President Ali Abdullah Saleh to step down and prevent his country imploding. (reuters.com)".

We don't care about flights being halted. We have compassion for the dozens of people being killed, but is not our responsibility to protect them. Bloodshed is traditionally involved as people and governments struggle for a new order.

I concentrate on the fact that the US has sent an envoy to the region. An absolutely stupid move! How many envoys have been sent from Italy, Japan, Russia, China, Germany, etc.? The problem with sending an envoy is that such action makes us immediately involved. What does Congress plan to do as Obama is starting to take on another war?
