how do you pronounce Qatar?

[Santander]

We are not obligated to pronounce foreign names with non-English pronunciations. I've never understood why some smartasses feel differently about Qatar (and in America, Chile too) than they do about Pakistan, Mexico, or whatever other country.

What’s the right way to pronounce Pakistan? I usually say pah-KEY-stahn because I have a bad habit of listening to British newscasts.

Obama, the Muslim communist, pronounces it basically the way people in Pakistan do.
