"US enters Yemen war" is, in my opinion, an exaggeration. What happened here was an act of self defense aimed(oops, a terrible pun) at precluding further attacks. The U.S showed an admirable level of restraint in this case. The first missiles could have been inadvertent. The second attack could not have been and the response was appropriate. "Well done" to the Navy and the administration. Now, about those gunboats...

Kudos to the administration for action taken here, should have been immediate rather than later.
