  Anxiety in the Gulf - Council on Foreign Relations
The perceived US indifference to the suffering of the Palestinians and other sensitive issues in the Gulf include the killing of Afghan civilians, a strong conviction that the US media is waging a campaign against American allies, particularly Saudi Arabia which offends many who believe it is aimed at slandering Islam.
While the Gulf states are vulnerable, threats to their stability are exaggerated, but the events of September 11 do raise serious and now unavoidable questions about the evolution of these societies.
US military forces in the Gulf are a source of stability like those in Asia and in Europe, but that alone does not give Washington the essential tools to conduct its policies effectively.

 Gulf States Rethink US-Led Security Alliance - by Trita Parsi
The Arab states' aggressive armament contributed to Iran's insecurity, which in turn increased tensions between the two sides of the Gulf and undermined the security of the region.
Under the U.S. security umbrella, the region resembles Europe between the two world wars – it is fundamentally disordered and riddled with uncertainty, negative competition, and massive instability.
Though reluctant to challenge the U.S., it is difficult to foresee the Asian giants continuing to depend on Washington or elementary regional security mechanisms as a guarantee for regional stability.

 BBC NEWS | Middle East | Gulf states warn US over Syria
US officials have accused Syria of harbouring members of the former Iraqi regime and developing weapons of mass destruction - allegations that Damascus denies.
A statement released by the Syrian Government on Tuesday condemned US "threats and falsifications", saying that the "escalated language of threats and accusations by some American officials against Syria" was aimed at "damaging its steadfastness".
And in an apparent response to the US accusations, Syria is preparing to introduce a resolution at the UN Security Council on Wednesday, calling for the Middle East to be declared a "zone free of weapons of mass destruction" - a clear reference to Israel's nuclear weapons programme.

 POLITICS: Gulf States Rethink U.S.-Led Security Alliance
Under the U.S. security umbrella, the region resembles Europe between the two world wars -- it is fundamentally disordered and riddled with uncertainty, negative competition, and massive instability.
In the Saudi Minister's view, the security arrangement would go beyond the Gulf Cooperation Council states and include "a prosperous Yemen, a stable Iraq, and a friendly Iran", and be underpinned by guarantees provided by the international community as a whole rather than by just "the only superpower in the world".
The current approach -- that of increasing the U.S. security burden by setting up military bases in Iraq and by insisting on an arrangement that the Arabs are growing increasingly uncomfortable with -- risks widening the gulf between Washington and the Arab sheikhdoms, critics argue.

 Religious leaders condemn Gulf Arab states over US military bases.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Al-Qaradawi said in a former fatwa (religious edict) that what the Iraqi opposition is doing in terms of asking the U.S. and the U.K. for help is not suitable for a Muslim concerned about the welfare of his own country.
If the Iraqi regime was cruel, he said, this does not mean that we replace it with an American or British regime which would control the resources of the region for the sake of U.S. or Zionist interests.
Sheikh Faysal Mawlawi, the vice president of the European Council on Research and Fatwas, said that it is not permissible to use military bases in Arab and Muslim countries to strike Muslims.
