I'm not sure how Saudis generally feal about their monarch. If they have a favorable view, I would see an act like that just cementing their resolve against groups like Al Quaeda. For the US, something like that might actually be helpful as far as our middle east policy and the war against terrorism.
I think at this point as far as Libya goes, the US is best off playing with the hand it's dealt. Pakistan, for example, while not being a model of democracy is much better for the US as an ally than as an enemy.
I'm still on the fence about Libya.
