The economic decline of the US is the main reason why Qatar is making headlines when it comes to implementing Israeli and US agenda in the Muslim world.
One of the main methods through which Washington kept despots like Hosni Mubarak in power in the Muslim world is through continuously delivering large sums of money to one power center that was responsible for keeping a nation marginalized and preventing Islamic revival. After the Islamic Awakening the established US proxy power centers got significantly weakened and various fragments of the old regime began fighting for the patronage of Washington. As the Islamic Awakening created a multipolar political landscape in many Muslim societies, the US had to make sure it satisfied various power centers to keep its imperialist interests afloat. The US now has to channel money and other forms of support not just to one group, but many groups. This means more spending abroad that the US cannot afford, especially during a presidential election period.
As Asia Times accurately points out that today “oil exporting countries like Russia, Iran and Venezuela all prefer to avoid oil payments in US dollars entirely; getting paid in Chinese yuan through bilateral currency swaps for example. ... the diminishing influence, globally, of US financial institutions. A number of household institutions - Lehman Brothers, Bear Stearns, Citibank, Wachovia, Merrill Lynch - all have fallen by the wayside while amongst the survivors such as Bank of America and Wells Fargo there is a clear tendency to go "back to basics", ie the core US business, while eschewing their non-US presence. A number of financially strong institutions such as Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs no longer have the same access to global deals (and dealmakers) as in the days before the crisis.”
With the above facts being a reality, Washington needs its servants whose survival depends on the US imperialist presence in the Muslim world to begin actively defending themselves by protecting strategic US interests in the Muslim world. The main mechanism of this scheme is to have despotic anti-Islamic regimes bankroll the US interests in the Muslim world.
Qatar having a minuscule native population with large oil reserves combined with a use of a quasi-slave labor from all over the world is an ideal cash cow. This combined with the skillful establishment of a Western media outlet known as Al-Jazeera which has been sold to the Muslim public as the voice of the Arab street, is the reason why the US is allowing Qatar to make news headlines.
This US strategy is an innovative approach to deal with its declining economic power in the sphere of foreign affairs. However, if the global Islamic movement manipulates the pre-Islamic tribal nature of the Qatari regime, other pre-Islamic US backed governing systems in the Arabian Peninsula will marginalize Qatar in their bid to win the role of Washington’s regional muscleman. The worldly greed of the tribal regimes occupying the Arabian Peninsula is the best soft-power tool to be utilised in liberating Mecca and Medina.
