Captain,
Instead of wondering if the looney dictator makes plans to inflict more pain, US hoped for a friendly ruler in the country, which at the end was leaving Iran alone, but with enough power to keep the things local.
Things are not worse now then before Saddam for US, because everyone in the region seem rather busy. Yes, KSA included ;)
Per your oil price remark think who can sustain high oil prices, the west or the east (to simplify it in order not to name countries).
