Why is it that everything in the Middle East has to be about oil and gas? As a Canadian living in Qatar I can attest that this could not be further from the truth. It's about power, Qatar being ever so slightly more bold, its progressive media outlet - Al Jazeera, Qatar's ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and the fact that Saudi can't control this little peninsula the way it wants to. It's hilarious listening to all the "experts" chime in.
