For the record, Qatar is in the Middle East.

To Hummah, apart from dates, what other farming can people in Qatar do without grass? Aren’t there more of that in the States and Asia?

As for Porsche, I guess they deserve it.

Amb. Nassir Al-Nasser: Well, first of all, QA-tar is a moderate country, playing a good role in the international arena.
Oliver: I think you’ll find it’s pronounced qa-TAR .
Al-Nasser: It’s QA-tar .
Oliver: qa-TAR.
Al-Nasser: QA-tar.
Oliver: qa-TAR.
Al-Nasser: QA-tar. That’s the classic Arabic.
Oliver: Ambassador, that’s a pre-9/11 pronunciation.

don’t hate on a country if they are rich we have oil too along with other technology, we even sell weapons to other country so tell me whats more worst than that?

ps…people don’t use weapons to play with, they only use it to destroy or start a fight

Let em have Porsche what does it really matter; I mean maybe I am just crazy but like 999/1000 people do not own a Porsche. Besides everything is backwards over there already so Porsche cars should fit right in!

Funny but I don’t recall ever seeing anyone sporting Lederhosen and a turban at the same time.

Abu-Dhabi bitches! The real irony is that if we hadn’t made these Arab states so rich with our extreme thirst for oil, they would be useless dirt farms that nobody could care less about.

And with more and more ultra-rich oil-states taking pieces of the beleagured auto industry for themsleves, you can expect the integration of non-petrol fuel technologies to arrive a little later than expected…

The irony is that Qatar is in Asia (small Asia to be precise). But I find this union fitting: Qatar can prosper only if there is demand for oil. Porsche vehicles help to create demand.

The irony of it all. Africans, buying up German blue chips at swap meet prices.
