1990 Saddam invades Saudi Arabia

The way to go for Saddam would be due south along the Gulf. If he gets to the causeway to Bahrain, to the oil fields/petrochemical complexes around Dharan things get ugly as he now controls a HUGE chunk of world petroleum assets - or is at least in a position to trash them. Could he have gotten that far before adequate US forces were in p[lace...probably not. Only if he had planned to do so from the get-go.

The first US forces to arrive were light, and had only 2-3 days worth of rations and ammo at best.

Saudi women and Christians would certainly be better off if saddam had deposed the Wahabi terrorist regime.

What Christians? Almost every Christian in Saudi Arabia was guest worker, I'm not sure that Saddam would be an improvement (as he would likely use Iraqi guest workers instead).

On the other hand for the Shias their situation would improve with iraqi rule(quite ironic in fact).
 
Surely the rule of Saddam would be far better for ordinary Saudi women than that of the Wahabi regime. Only condition is that they should not be too beautiful as to catch the eyes of Udai Hussain on the lookout for fresh conquests on his bed!
