520    The Gulf is in the first rank of potential global 
       flashpoints. It is the largest market for weapons imports 
       in the world, and is considered to be a vital interest of 
       all the great powers. Iran is viewed as an expansionist 
       threat by the Arab states of the Gulf, who have built 
       considerable militaries in a historically short timeframe.
       _x000B_ Security in the Gulf, however, is a complicated 
       matter. The Arab states of the Gulf have pursued different
       defense policies as well as different ways of building up 
       their forces. In some instances, the establishment of a 
       strong military is not just.
