It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates... because of the possible "ripple effects" of several Arab powers breaking off diplomatic ties with Doha, officials said. Silvestre Bello, the Philippines' labour chief, said on Tuesday that Manila was taking precautions as it fears that problems such as food shortages could affect tens of thousands of Filipinos in Qatar should the crisis worsen. Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... , Egypt, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain had severed relations with Qatar on Monday, accusing it of supporting "terrorism" and Iran. Qatar said the move was "unjustified". The four Arab nations also cut off sea and air links with Qatar, which relies on imports from its neighbours.
