In the same order of your responses:

bleu, you know better, Qatarization would need quality not quantity. I can safely and proudly say that 15% of Qataris I’ve worked with, so far, have leadership qualities. That’s enough for starters.

brit, we’re in agreement. But the 80% of translators and interpreters coming for Doha int’l conference are Egyptians. Lebanese are more into the scene lately.

ashwindoke, thanks for the advice, we already have one excellent Lebanese and Iraqi onboard.

Gensis, thanks for the tip, yes, there are fruit and animal names all over the world, like Apple, Tiger…etc. (in relation to the Gomhouria article thread, I do hope we’re “peachy” and no hard feelings).

SAM, public figures will always be either attacked or kissed up, it’s an inseparable part of their job, just like you did with mine now.

PM, oh my, “Fallacy” ya Doctor?! I’ll reply to you now..:)
