CAIRO, 10 January (IPS) - Recent months have  witnessed
several notable political reorientations in the Middle
East,  involving Iran, the Gulf states, Egypt and Lebanon.
Several experts say the  changes reflect a shift in
Washington's regional strategy following recent US  policy
setbacks. "US policies in the region are either in retreat
or  undergoing re-examination," Ayman Abelaziz Salaama,
international law  professor at Cairo University told IPS.
"Washington's project for a new  Middle East -- launched in
2001 with the aim of redrawing the region to suit  US
interests -- has failed."
