I said the argument had wide currency in the anti-war camp. Possibly on the silly fringe. I have no interest in trying to justify arguments from that source, though it seems that discourse is increasingly dominated by the silly fringes at both ends of the spectrum. If in the outcome, Iraq goes the way of Lebanon, it will be a benefit to AQ. If a stable Iraq emerges, and reform continues to be on the table in Arabia (which it is now, and never was before), it is not a gain for AQ. AQ has placed its bets on chaos. That’s actually a fairly astute bet, and it’s one they are likely to win. It would be the House of Saud, no question. I’m not so sure. The house of Saud is the enemy they love to hate. A perfect target for propaganda, but too ineffectual to do them any damage. I think the house of Saud suits them just fine. Besides, to suit AQ's purposes, an Arab leader had to be removed by Americans, and that is not going to happen to the house of Saud.
