Very interesting timing don't u think? ;)

Ah, this middle east of ours...

Let's hope for the best.

And, YES... Qatar has propelled itself as a major regional player, and hub. This is very interesting, because it is eating out the role of Saudia and [MOST of all] Egypt. And they obviously are doing a much better job..

Well, it's the only country in the region which knows how to act impartially. Good on them.

I think it won't be long before the 'Arab street' (whatever that is!!) recognises that. No-one will forget how Qatar was doing more reconstruction work on the ground in South Lebanon after the Israeli attacks than the Hariri/Siniora government.
