Everyone is ignoring Bahrain.

Maybe you guys need to check out different news outlets. I've heard plenty about it. (Not among trendy retards though, but who cares?)

NPR has continually been reporting on Bahrain.

We have one guy in our carpool who listens to NPR (so the rest of the carpool has to listen as well)....

I wonder if the NPR reporters talk that way in real life... I can't tell if they really think that they are smarter than everyone else so they think they have to talk that slow so all the dumb people can understand them or if they need to take some malox to relieve their constipation...
 
What you have in Bahrain is a small group is Sunni`s ruling the majority of people who are Shiite.
This is alot different from what is happenning in Egypt.
Plus you have the home of the US Navy`s 5th Fleet....
 
sunnis or shiites...........why dont both of them realize they are humans beings first and that too of the same religion, much less a different caste!! This infighting among themselves is just bad!
 
I lived in Bahrain for 10 months in 2008. There were always tensions between Shiite and Sunni. Almost every Friday, all expats got an e-mail from our company security people that we had to stay away from certain areas of Manama because of demonstrations that sometimes turned violent. I guess the whole things has exploded now
 
it's been on the front page of NYTimes.com all week.

it's definitely gotten less coverage than Egypt for sure, but it's also not a major country that's a linchpin in Mideast peace.
 
I have a quite different take, Mubarak wanted his army to back him and his army did not.
And now Mubarak is toast. And somewhat the same thing happened previously in Tunisia.

But still these common peoples rebellions now gaining steam all over the mid-east come from new younger educated Arabs, v the old line Arab fossil leadership. As the same common new ideas sweep from Algeria all the way to Yemen.

Various old line Arab leaders in Lybia, Bahrain, Yemen, Iran, and other places may be able to rely on their armies to quash the current rebellions, but armies can never kill ideas or the aspirations of a captive populace.

So the way I look at it, the status quo in places like Bahrain may survive, but still the leaders of Bahrain have already planted the seeds of their own destruction. Especially, if and when Egypt can show the positive example of better leadership.

Most leaders that fall, have faced rebellions before, and finally run out of all credibility, in a long slow, bit by bit process.
Why should we expect the first time to be enough?

It's the liberal elitism at work
 
Qaddafi is slaughtering Libyans as we speak, he is using foreign African mercenaries. Hundreds of Libyans have been killed so far.
