Qatar is being attacked mercilessly by the Western press a full nine years before the event is held. Without a doubt the anxiety of growing Gulf states and their ability to join the world stage thanks to the Wests own petrol dollars has some people disgusted. England,America and other countries were built on slave and cheap labor and now these very same countries are criticizing the Qatar kingdom with what it is paying Nepalese migrant workers. They are saying cities and the infrastructure will not be built in time and that it is too hot to play soccer. There are folks out there that just do not want Qatar, or an Oman, or whatever rich gulf nation hosts an important event. They are just going to have to get use to these nations hosting Olympics and other World Cup events in the future. Qatar has the money and willing workforce from Asia to get this accomplished but clearly there are those who wish it not to be the case.
The attack on the labor policies in Qatar are really mind numbing. Qatar is giving these very poverty stricken people from Central Asia a chance to make way more money than they could get at home. Being paid what construction workers in debt ridden Western nations is not only feasible in Qatar but not even economically possible. the amount of time that Qatar and Abu Dubai have built skyscrapers and modern cities in short amount of time will go down as one of the wonders of the world that could not been possible without these immigrant workers. It is the same way New York and Chicago got built up so fast and the only reason we are hearing so much bad mouthing about Qatar's policies is because of the worry and anxiety some in West see a new economic shift establish and build itself from scratch.
