I have to ask. Where is Qatar? I have never heard of that country!

Middle East ..... we have troops there now. Apparently the correct pronunciation of the name sounds something like "guttar" or "gutter" because that's how you hear it on tv most of the time.

It's where some of our Service men and women have been sent to for the possible war with Iraq

Here is a map
