I am still trying to understand why this is not a common custody dispute.

Should the US government get tangled up in child custody disputes? It has a time or two --- when the US senator flew to Jonestown, it was about a child custody dispute and the kool-aid drinkers were living in a foreign country, the government got involved in Waco because of child custody disputes and that ended in disaster and then Janet Reno got involved in the Elian child custody dispute. How many Arab families should we kill on Arab land because they and we don't agree on who should raise the children?

This woman and her children are US citizens by our laws. Saudi Arabia does not recognize her US citizenship at all. Because she is female, she is the property of her father or her husband.

We should interfere because she is an adult who is a US citizen who has made a request to return to the home of her birth.

Actually, that's not interfering, that's protecting inalienable human rights.

As many as necessaary to get our own citizens home.
