Sorry, went for lunch. Of course there is no criticism about the war in Iraq, there is a large American base here and Qatar has a lot invested in companies such as Exxon Mobil and Shell which are American. The press here gives the Americans a break, the Americans overlook such things as large sums of money going to the Hamas and the Hezbollah. There is enough anti-Americanism here without fueling the fire.
As for editorials, there are very few, at least in the English papers, and they aren't very good. But editorials aren't news anyway, they are opinions, and heavily biased ones at that.
