The Saudis are doing a poor job against terrorists. Partially that\'s because of policy - the Saudis are really fighting a low level civil war that has continued since the last serious flareup in the 20\'s. Partially it\'s because of the leadership - the prince in charge is old and incompetent.
In any case, Saudi Arabia is a sovereign country and responsibility for criminal actions within their borders is their\'s. It seems that the US gave clear warnings to the right people in the Saudi government in a timely manner.
We don\'t rule the world, don\'t you know?
