According to the new proposal presented to the G8 Summit in June 2004, known mostly as the GMEI, the following principles were taken into consideration: •A "Greater Middle East Forum for the Future" would provide a regular venue for discussion of reform goals and programs, and to promote cooperation between states on behalf of reform.
Kennedy Doctrine of "Alliance for Progress" in 1962, the Carter Doctrine of "Human Right" in 1976 and finally George Bush's doctrine of"Greater Middle East Initiative " of 2004 are the best examples of the software security plans.
The GMEI is thus the third soft-security laden project the United States is proposing for the promotion of democracy and political reforms in the Middle East.
While the Saudi regime was basically a promoter and the supporter of radical Wahabi fundamentalism, it changed this policy especially after the rumors came out that the US administration tended to launch a political reform plan for the Middle East as the main remedy for containment of radical fundamentalism.
Despite the fact that the GMEI was presented in the G8 Summit in Sea Island in June 2004 and was considered as a common project by the Europe and the United States, the European Union according to its traditional approach to the Middle Eastern policy, has had its own reservations regarding the Plan.
Conclusion The Greater Middle East Initiative as the new soft-security laden American plan suffers the internal contradictions and external problems.
