It's... full of stars!
So let me get this straight--we invade and destroy a Persian Gulf state, turning it from a brutal, but stable, dictatorship into a nominally democratic hornet's nest of chaos and random violence, then pull out, forcing Saudi Arabia, promoter of fundamentalist Islam extraordinare, to fill the void and fight a proxy war against Iran, while remaining, ostensibly, good friends with the Saudis? Who could propose, much less implement, such a crazy Machiavellian scheme!

Ha!
Another side would be, the last time we let the Saudis help fund and fight a proxy war for us, it helped get us where we are today.
Good point--but aren't we up to our eyeballs in failed states and Great Satan sentiment anyway? At least it's a nice fig leaf for an American withdrawal.
A while back, we thought about having the US or New York City become a rogue state. Still tempting.
