"It's a sobering moment," said Eddie O'Sullivan, Dubai-based editorial director of the Middle East Economic Digest. "People are going to have to be much more careful. There's a fear they (members of Congress) may move on to other targets in the Arab world. If it happened once it can happen again."
Investors and businesses in the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Qatar and Saudi Arabia will be reviewing portfolios for U.S. holdings that could spark a similar uproar in Congress, O'Sullivan said.
"Most of (the holdings) are in dollar-denominated assets. They'll want to see how vulnerable it is to the U.S. Congress," O'Sullivan said.

They may be more disposed to look to Europe or Asia for investment now - but in the end, the amount of cash is so huge that only U.S. assets can soak it up, O'Sullivan said. -

Edward O'Sullivan, the editor of Dubai-based Middle East Economic Digest said Gulf investors will be looking for swift action. "If in six months time, [Lebanese] authorities are saying we don't know who did it, than that is really going to damage attitudes in the Gulf," he said. "People will not believe that people do not know, that the authorities in Lebanon are incapable of laying hands on some of the perpetrators." The style of Hariri's assassination - a massive explosion that ripped apart his motorcade - could breed fear among tourists from the Arab Gulf countries, whose spending also accounts for a majority of Lebanon's vital tourism industry. "If somebody who should be untouchable can be so cruelly obliterated in a public street, in the middle of the day, in the center of the capital of the country he governed, then who is safe," O'Sullivan asked.
