Qatar Is Not a Democracy

Qatar won the bid to host the World Cup because it was the only one that could burn money in an absolutely infinite and limited way. England and Australia, they were found to be doing dodgy stuff too. Think of it like cold Douglas's Kung Fu fighting, but for payoffs and kickbacks. The Mail on Sunday published a special report informed by a Katori whistleblower on the eve of the World Cup hosting decision. And you remember Tariq Pandya at the New York Times, right, Tommy? He helped us understand FIFA's corruption. Now he returns now to explain the origins of Qatar's desire to host the world football tournament.
