Qatar is hardly either of these things. You should give it more credit.
BTW if siting in an airport lounge makes someone important in your view, then you need to work on your self-esteem.
Happygolucky--I get what you are saying, but as soon as a country decides to go on the world stage it has to accept that it can no longer control the debate and people would criticize it however they want (no matter how many people whine about it). If you don't want to be noticed, don't keep raising your hand and shouting "look at me." Far far worse is being said in other forums. Luxembourg's per capita wealth in a on a par with Qatar's but they don't get much media attention because they have decided to keep a lower profile.
