I know what you are thinking. I know what is going through your head when I tell you where we are going and you are trying to be polite and not tell me that I am certifiably crazy to send my family to the Middle East. Our family may be a little unconventional but we do our homework. The biggest research that we have had is our test subject, one of my best friends from college, who has been living there for 3 years. If it were not for him, we would not be making this move.
My friend also shared with us a report that was helpful in deciding to make the leap. Follow the article below and the video about unrest in the Middle East and notice where Qatar falls in the list. I hope this puts your mind to rest as much it did ours.
