I appreciate the frank commentary on this file.

Look, there are no white cowboy hats and no black cowboy hats. Its all just grey hats working in their own self-interest.  Qatar is another square on the Global Chess Board, like Syria, like Libiya and Iraq, and  Lebanon, and... well, how far do you want to go back? Damascus has been conquered by more than a dozen peoples in its existence. Its on a key square of the Global Chess Board, like it has always been.  Now Qatar is becoming a more important square... and the game continues.
