Gadarene & Raven, Well said. You would think that access to that insurmountable wealth would finally afford some common sense, but as most of the logical posters here are repeating, it sadly hasn't.
A pity, it's further stereotyping the Arab psyche as superficial amoebic nomads, incapable of meaningful, responsible or logical development.
When they shortchange privilege with vulgar displays of material wealth in what already appears to be a failed attempt to impress the rest of the world they end up with nothing more than scoffs at yet another promulgated vision of yesteryears Bedouin in the dessert with all his Bentley's.
It just doesn't work & always floats belly up as nothing but an obvious act of superficial profligacy.
Raven made a lucid observation, that Qatar will "turn up with their bid application fee which is millions of US$, thanks for the donation guys"
IMHO a donation like that is just frivolous waste! ESP when starving children are more entighteled. I believe that the first step of progress can only be measured when one realizes that access to money isn't a right, it's a responsibility.
As said Gadarene stressed something's in life simply can't be bought and that is the privilege of a coherent sophisticated aptitude towards the real world.
NUCLEAR WEAPONS: IF AMERICA AND ISRAEL CAN HAVE THEM - THEN SO SHOULD IRAN.
