Qatar vs all others

[Furunculus]

Interestingly enough, BBC diplomatic correspondent James Robbins disagrees:


According to him, the real reason is that Qatar isn't openly hostile to Iran, and tries to have an independent foreign policy instead of doing what Saudi Arabia says.

That's an interesting point view, no doubt true in its own narrow terms.

But nothing more than a demonstration of the perils of small nations being silly enough to have pushy foreign policy's:
