It's not the World Cups responsibility? Obviously it's no one person or organizations responsibility. It's a natural occurance that by holding an event of this magnitude there would be economic propulsion for the country. Sports is just the vehicle to put Qatar in the world spotlight, which in turn would force that needed change. Look at what the Asian games did here - hundreds of companies opened, thousands flocked here just because of it. The World Cup would be that x20 PLUS the pressure of creating a much more international friendly environment. For FIFA, the money won't be an issue - everyone knows that. For Qatar, this is a massive opportunity for change.
