This is kind of off topic, but is anyone surprised/confused by people's reaction to this?
The Saudis have been bombing Yemen for the last ~3 years and nothing really happened. Then they assassinate a journalist and all hell breaks loose?

Nations get into armed conflicts fairly frequently, unfortunantly. Since the West is also partial to engaging in armed conflicts, I think we cannot so easily critize others without opening a can of worms most would rather not think about: what is the moral difference between Saudi and US bombing in Yemen?.
On the other hand, even at our worst (Guantanamo?), the US is not kidnapping our own citizens and dismembering them.
