Qatar has a resource based economy - taking the words at face value anyway.

The resource is oil, and it's their whole economy. In 2010 they had the highest GDP per capita in the world.

What's the point exactly? I don't get it. Them's that has the resource wins?

Or - are we supposed to take the resources away from them, on the basis that we needs the precious?
