I don't think the incineration of Riyadh would be counted as a good thing by the bin Laden crowd, do you? Or a Western takeover of the oil fields of the Middle East, which is going to be on the table very soon, if these attacks continue for long

I don't put myself forward as an expert in second-guessing these fanatics, but I fear that even these results might seem desirable to them. Terrorist practice la politque du pire. OBL's been trying to rally the troops round the supposed outrage of infidel troops on holy ground -- what would make his case better than Riyadh in rubble & an actual Western conquest of Saudi Arabia?
