Bill Clinton got $1 million from Qatar simply because it was his birthday. If I got a million dollars for my birthday I'm pretty sure that I'd be ready to listen to the person who gave me all that money at every opportunity (even though I would like to think such money wouldn't corrupt me). Are we really naive enough to think the Saudis and the Qataris don't want anything in return for their millions?
The Saudis and Qataris made charitable donations. They are owed nothing. What they might want is irrelevant because they have no power to get it.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
