Qatar has money, but no other hard power, and it has been criticized for its interference in Syria and its support for the Muslim Brotherhood. If Qatar fails to use its resources wisely, it may lose the legitimacy that it needs to underpin its patronage.
但卡塔尔或许玩得有些过火。卡塔尔有钱，但除此之外再无硬实力，并因其对叙利亚的干涉和支持穆斯林兄弟会而饱受诟病。如果卡塔尔不能明智地利用这一资源，就可能失去它所需要的援助活动的合法性。
