Sure Maza, it was a carefully plotted conspiracy against the Qatari people. The NY Times has nothing better to do than conspire against a small Gulf state about which the vast majority of its readers known nothing.
Even if you dismiss the article, plenty of posters on this thread (Qatari and expat alike) have written more critical (and I would say more insightful) statements than in the article. How about addressing the subject of the article rather than complaining about the bad publicity? And what 'lessons need to be learn't'? The NY Times is suffering financially; perhaps the lesson to be learned is that Qatar should use some of the sovereign wealth funds to buy it and then fill it with puff pieces about how superior Qatar is.
