A gulf is a large area of a sea or ocean partially enclosed by land, especially a long landlocked portion of sea opening through a strait.\n\nThe word ocean is generally reserved for either the entire body of saltwater that covers more than 70% of the earth's surface, or any of the principal divisions of the ocean, including the Atlantic, Pacific, Indian, Arctic, and Antarctic oceans.\n\nGo go Gadget Dictionary!

The UAE is not really an Arab country in the way most Americans think of Arab States. Many American Citizens live there. Now the timing is bad just because we are so scared that even countries that are allies are hurt. It is a shame.\n\nPeople from the USA will still be running our ports. The workers are all from the USA. The reason we are scared is because the word Arab is in the name of the country. They are an economic powerhouse. They have _no oil_. They gained power through the free market like the USA.\n\n*The UAE is what we want Iraq to be.*\n\nIt should be investigated as the climate we are in calls for that. The congress should have been clued into this before. The secretive nature of this Bush administration is very worrysome. There is no reason to deny them other than their location in the world. It makes me wonder if something else is going on. He claims he had not known untill it was to late. How could he not know! I do not accept this. It makes me very nervous.\n\nThe investigation must be done, but a decision must be made fairly speedily or countries around the UAE will use it against the USA to turn more people in that region away from us.\n\nUPDATE:\nWow, I just heard the senate hearing on this. Appearantly, Bush was giving Dubai some breaks with this deal. He did not require them to make copies of business files in the USA, where they would be subjected to court orders from us. Also he did not designate a US citizen to make sure they were in compliance with US terms. This is so shady!

The middle east used to be a lush green area much like a rain forest. The old decaying plant matter in the earth eventually turns into oil.

The answer to your question is thoroughly explained in the documentary Farenheit 9/11 by Michael Moore.\nIt shows that what really defines the relationship between the middle east and the united states are the common economic interests of the ruthless saudi dictatorship and the US elite (The bushes, the VP and all of the big corporate and energy executives) \nThe iraq war is just and excuse to control its oil for their benefit(Not yours, you´re still paying 3 bucks a gallon)

Well, i've been thinking about this for a long time.  \nWell, look at the Persian Gulf.  Most of our oil comes from that region, the Saudi, Kuwait, Iran, Iraq area.  Follow the Persian Gulf down a bit and you come to a very thing narrow strip of water that connects it to the Indian OCean.  This strait is called the Strait of Hormuz.  If you can block this strait with water mines or something like that, the world will buckle down as it can't get most of it's oil.  \nmake your demands, make me rich, and happily ever after.

It started in 1990 with Iraqs invasion of Kuwait.  The original Gulf War really didnt end, so it's been one long war.

That's a matter of who you ask: \n\nIran's point of view: Tehran believes in defending the historical term "Persian Gulf" against "Arabian Gulf," which it regards as a name dreamed up by Arab nationalists.\n\nThe Arab gulf states' point of view: The Arab countries on the gulf have all been influneced by the Arab nationalism. Thus, if you ask any random person from Bahrain, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, or Oman what the gulf is called, they'll reply "the Arabian Gulf", sometimes even oblivious to the fact that there is another name.\n\nThe US's point of view: In the United States, Persian Gulf has been the label sanctioned for U.S. government use since a decision by the State Department's Board of Geographical Names in 1917. This practice remains State Department policy. In recent years, due to increased cooperation with Arab states of the Persian Gulf, various branches of the U.S. armed forces have issued directives to their members to use the "Arabian Gulf" when operating in the area ("Persian Gulf" is still used in official publications and websites), partially to follow local conventions, or simply to follow local laws that ban the use of "Persian Gulf", e.g. in the United Arab Emirates. Also for similar reasons, branches of American universities in the region have also dropped references to "Persian Gulf" in their teaching materials.

In the Carboniferous Period, approximately 300 million years ago, what is today Saudi Arabia and vicinity was part of Pangea, and sort of adjacent to the Appalachian Mountains which is today part of America.  That's when vast swamps were formed, which originally provided the biomass for underground oil, draining into the Paleo-Tethys Sea.  Alas, beginning around the Jurassic Period, Pangea began to break up, forming the new Atlantic Ocean.  So, all that oil that originally belonged to America moved away, and by the time dinsosaurs became extinct, the mideast was being formed, and after a while Arabs were living on it, claiming the oil for themselves.  It's just not fair. \n\nCheck out the website about paleogeography.
