Mmmmm, what about the bigger pictures that the bachelor issue? Is there no concern on the Qatari side for the dysfunctional society that they have created? When men outnumber women three to one and foreigners outnumber Qataris three to one I think tbhat there would be cause for concern over the sort of society that is being created.

It is a good thing that the labourers are riven by language and ethnic differences, because if they ever got organized and started saying "no" with a unified voice I think that the Qataris would find that they are not really in control of "their" own country.

I would hope that this thought is causing some sleepless nights among some policy makers somewhere.
