Though i feel that Doha was robbed the chance of the Olympics. The international press clearly reported that there was a huge debate about whether to include Doha or not. Jacques Rogge, the IOC President didnt even attend the Press Conference. It all means that Doha lost the race by the skin of their teeth.
The ONLY reason why Doha lt out was because of the proposed change in timing. Dibelievers, just you wait. This is not a nation that bows down in front of failures. Be damned sure that they will consider this as a challenge and come back. Doha did not lose because they did something wrong, they lost because of nature - the climate.
And for that, no one can blame them. The Qataris I have associated with are proud, with a never-say-die attitude. They will overcome this setback and they will succeed.
