He IS doing a great job. The previous Emir wasn't bad either. Like I said there's no obvious clash due to the limited variety among the Qatari population.

In fact at first many Qataris hated the coup because we did love the previous Emir and there were many ppl who participated in a plot against Shk. Hamad but were caught and he was tolerant enough to free most of them.

Why did Shk Hamad lead a coup? Nobody knows for sure but it could be because the previous Emir suffered from alzheimer and it affected his judgment or somebody was taking advantage of it.. Possibly.. I don't know.

Yeah I guess we ARE lucky..
