In search of safety from the not-a-civil-war

Iraq's neighbours met in Jordan today to discuss the plight of the nearly 2.5 million Iraqi refugees that have fled the accomplished mission that is their country. There are at least another 2 million Iraqis who are internally displaced. If you look at the map accompanying the article you will not that, despite having the second longest border with Iraq after Iran, loyal American ally Saudi Arabia doesn't seem to have taken in any of them. I reckon that makes the Saudis' behaviour consistent with that of the Americans who aren't accepting any either.
