I agree with Sparticus.

The Qataris have a right to demand that US, UK, Canada, France and other much wealthier countries change their visa policies when Qatar deals with countries poorer than it in a less hypocritical fashion. As I said above, the equivalent of U.S.-Qatar in terms of wealth is Qatar-Moldova (or the likes of Nicaragua, Niger and Rwanda).

Reciprocity and tit-for-tat are a two-way street.
