Arabia Concerned About Post-Saddam Democracy In Iraq

"The Saudi efforts want to ensure that no major Arab country will plot against Riyad or any other regime targeted by the United States," a diplomatic source said. "While Washington opposed Iraq on the issue of weapons of mass destruction, the Saudis are worried that Washington will use the banner of democracy."

That means they are trying to talk other mid-east dictators into an alliance because they're supposedly worried about America turning the guns on them, in the interests of allowing democracy in Arabia. What it probably really means is that they don't want another democracy in the region. Democracy is always bad for countries where the place is named after the ruling family.
