Very interesting thread. Keep writing. I still do think that Qataris do read. Just that they don't contribute much and perhaps are more comfortable with the Arabic forums.

What about the Qatar National Vision 2030? Are they not looking into making corrective changes? The newspaper reports on 28.10.08 (I think) did say that this was properly researched and they are looking into those 5 major challenges. http://www.gulf-times.com/site/topics/article.asp?cu_no=
