Qatar - the country of almosts

As in, they ALMOST got it right.

"bettertan"   - Spelled just like it sounds.  

The instructions were to write the words "Diesel" and "No Smoking"  in Arabic.  Almost got it.

This one is so chock full of funnies, but notice especially....

the upside down comma.  

What does "taliban" mean, exactly?

"The Taliban said they tentatively agreed to open a political office in Qatar" according to the Wall Street Journal. But I don't think this is it.
