The contrapasso.

It's curious that the piratical and exceedingly ambitious Qatari kingdom, after years of struggling and scheming to become the epicenter of Middle Eastern and international intrigues, self proclaimed, half Switzerland half caliphate of secret diplomacy, behaving shamelessly like a tightrope walker with a qaedist twist, aspiring dirty land of unspeakable meetings between bloodthirsty arch-enemies, eventually ends up being attacked (and humiliated with a barrage of bombs) by both supreme duelists of the regional chessboard within just a few months.

History certainly does not lack sarcasm.
