Over the last few days, I have consistently stated on here that we should build up-scale refugee camps in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and other countries in the ME and have the Saudi's and other pay for it and help us maintain them. That, in a way, would be sanctioning them by having them pay for the results of their actions or inactions. Beyond that, no. They are acting in conformity with their culture and religion. They do not commit genocide, or spread genocide. Until that happens, no. As for their ties to terrorists, we need to find a replacement for their oil, then we can reasonably take actions in that regard.
Reality and touchy feely feelings can run counter to each other, and in International Relations usually do.
That just drips of common sense, and forces the Saudis to actually help the US in a positive way.
