A Google string and the chest-pounding of Karl Rove does not prove your point.  That said, Saudi Arabia is so illiberal, they make the Trump-Pence administration blushing lefty liberals (which they aren't).

Also so nice to see you lower the bar from, "legitimate, elected governments" to "internationally recognized governments".  Hussein, Gaddafi, and Assad were all internationally recognized governments.  Also ISIS wanted to topple not just Assad but also Iraq's nascent democracy and then move along to create a caliphate.  Look it up.
