<P0-S0> since he took power in 1995, hamad bin khalifa al-thani believed qatar could find security only by transforming itself from a saudi appendage to a rival of saudi arabia. <P0-S1> saudi arabia withdrew its ambassador to doha from 2002 to 2008 to try to pressure qatar to curb its individualistic tendencies. <P0-S2> this approach broadly failed. <P0-S3> the arab spring left a power vacuum which both saudi arabia and qatar sought to fill, with qatar being supportive of the revolutionary wave and saudi arabia opposing it; since both states are allies of the united states, they avoid direct conflict with one another. <P0-S4> qatar has had differences with other arab governments on a number of issues: it broadcasts al jazeera; it is accused of maintaining good relations with iran; and it has supported the muslim brotherhood in the past. <P0-S5> qatar has been accused of sponsoring terrorism. <P0-S6> some countries have faulted qatar for funding rebel groups in syria, including al-qaeda’s affiliate in syria, the al-nusra front, although the saudis have done the same. <P0-S7> qatar has allowed the afghan taliban to set up a political office inside the country. <P0-S8> qatar is a close ally of the united states, hosting the largest american base in the middle east, al udeid air base. <SEP> <P1-S0> In January 1957, the US adopted the Eisenhower Doctrine and pledged to prevent the spread of communism and its perceived agents in the Middle East. <P1-S1> Although Nasser was an opponent of communism in the region, his promotion of pan-Arabism was viewed as a threat by pro-Western states in the region. <P1-S2> Also in January, the elected Jordanian prime minister and Nasser supporter Sulayman al-Nabulsi brought Jordan into a military pact with Egypt, Syria, and Saudi Arabia. <P1-S3> Eisenhower tried to isolate Nasser and reduce his regional influence by attempting to transform King Saud into a counterweight. <SEP> <P2-S0> The story is first recorded by the Greek geographer Strabo in his Geographica (book 17, 33), probably written around 7 BC or thereabouts: <P2-S1> The oldest known version of the Cinderella story is the ancient Greek story of Rhodopis, a Greek courtesan living in the colony of Naucratis in Egypt, whose name means ``Rosy - Cheeks ''. <SEP> <P3-S0> in total energy consumption, the u.s. was between 86% and 91% self - sufficient in 2016. in may 2011, the country became a net exporter of refined petroleum products. <P3-S1> as of 2014, the united states was the world's third - largest producer of crude oil, after saudi arabia and russia. <P3-S2> and second largest exporter of refined products, after russia. <SEP> <P4-S0> As a developing constitutional monarchy, Jordan has survived the trials and tribulations of Middle Eastern politics. <P4-S1> The 1952 Constitution provided for citizens of Jordan to form and join political parties. <P4-S2> Such rights were suspended in 1967 when a state of emergency was declared and martial law and suspension of Parliament, continuing until it was repealed in 1989. <P4-S3> The Jordanian public has experienced limited democracy since gaining independence in 1946 however the population has not suffered as others have under dictatorships imposed by some Arab regimes. <SEP> <P5-S0> It was directed by Andy Tennant and stars Drew Barrymore, Anjelica Huston, Dougray Scott, and Jeanne Moreau. <P5-S1> Ever After (known in promotional material as Ever After: A Cinderella Story) is a 1998 American romantic drama film inspired by the fairy tale "Cinderella". <P5-S2> The screenplay is written by Tennant, Susannah Grant, and Rick Parks. <P5-S3> The original music score is composed by George Fenton. <P5-S4> The film's closing theme song "Put Your Arms Around Me" is performed by the rock band Texas.
