My worry is if Qatar responds how I expect them to respond, there will be an asumption of the US still that a base in a forign nation is untouchable.
I doubt Qatar would want to get involved in this war. Unless Iran does something to actively harm Qatar, I think the Qatari monarchy may actually think Iran is doing them a favor.
Qatar is a mixed bag. There's a Hezbollah unit inside Qatar territory. Qatar is also home to Al Jazeera, which is the main anti-Israeli newspaper in middle east. Qatar is also one of the places where people from different factions go to negotiate. It's almost the Switzerland of the middle east.
Qatar not wanting to get involved really is the point. Hosting military bases for imperial adventurist foreign nations is guaranteed to put you at risk. When you're rolling in cash and bombs aren't falling on you, it's easy to forget that fact. This is a nice reminder.
