Security Forces with "Balthajiah" attack protesters in University of Bahrain (UoB).. UoB security guards allow "Balthajiah" to get in and beat students.

Generally, what's the situation like now? Is it a complete overthrow of your government that you want? Do you want a real democracy or do you think your country will end up like Iran?

We want to rule our country and we want constitutional monarch. The king will be the head of state and our people vote for MPs and Cabinet.

I'm toking just about Bahrain. Yes, we are Shiite but we are independent.

For some reason I received a big neg rep from California Girl for posting a youtube video about the Kent State massacre?

All I was doing was showing that most any government when it feels that it is under siege will resort to violence.

The United States government is no exception.

You pick one event where some National Guard Members took it on themselves to shoot protesting students in the sixties and attempt to attach it to the Libyan slaughter Sunni Man? That's rather pitiful.

The guardsmen fired 67 rounds over a period of 13 seconds, killing four students and wounding nine others, one of whom suffered permanent paralysis.

At this point, at 12:24 p.m., a Sgt. Taylor turned and began firing at the students with his .45 pistol. A number of guardsmen nearest the students also turned and fired their M1 Garand rifles at the students. In all, 29 of the 77 guardsmen claimed to have fired their weapons, using a final total of 67 rounds of ammunition. The shooting was determined to have lasted only 13 seconds, although John Kifner reported in the New York Times that "it appeared to go on, as a solid volley, for perhaps a full minute or a little longer."[21] The question of why the shots were fired remains widely debated.

The shootings killed four students and wounded nine. Two of the four students killed, Allison Krause and Jeffrey Miller, had participated in the protest, and the other two, Sandra Scheuer and William Knox Schroeder, had been walking from one class to the next at the time of their deaths. Schroeder was also a member of the campus ROTC chapter. Of those wounded, none was closer than 71 feet to the guardsmen. Of those killed, the nearest (Miller) was 265 feet away, and their average distance from the guardsmen was 345 feet.

Kent State shootings - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

One event in the sixties Sunni Man. How many Muslims are killing Muslims in Libya? Nowhere was the Government of America involved in the Guardsmen making the choice to fire. Libya? Yemen?

Eight of the guardsmen were indicted by a grand jury. The guardsmen claimed to have fired in self-defense, a claim which was generally accepted by the criminal justice system. In 1974 U.S. District Judge Frank Battisti dismissed charges against all eight on the basis that the prosecution's case was too weak to warrant a trial.

Likely for your poor comparison (see above). I also gave you one. Am I self chosen Sunni Man.

Saudi Arabia Sends Troops, Bahrain Shi'ites Call It 'War'

Reuters) - Saudi Arabia sent troops into Bahrain on Monday to help put down weeks of protests by the Shi'ite Muslim majority, a move opponents of the Sunni ruling family on the island called a declaration of war.

Analysts saw the troop movement into Bahrain, home to the U.S. Navy's Fifth Fleet, as a mark of concern in Saudi Arabia that concessions by the country's monarchy could inspire the conservative Sunni kingdom's own Shi'ite minority.

About 1,000 Saudi soldiers entered Bahrain to protect government facilities, a Saudi official source said, a day after mainly Shi'ite protesters overran police and blocked roads.

"They are part of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) force that would guard the government installations," the source said, referring to the six-member bloc that coordinates military and economic policy in the world's top oil-exporting region.

Bahrain said on Monday it had asked the Gulf troops for support in line with a GCC defense pact. The United Arab Emirates has said it would also respond to the call.

Witnesses saw some 150 armored troop carriers, ambulances, water tankers and jeeps cross into Bahrain via the 25-km (16-mile) causeway and head toward Riffa, a Sunni area that is home to the royal family and military hospital.

Bahrain TV later showed footage it said was of advance units of the joint regional Peninsula Shield forces that had arrived in Bahrain "due to the unfortunate events that are shaking the security of the kingdom and terrorizing citizens and residents."

Shia and Sunny fighting. Even if it is not about religion, it will be spun into religion. I would stop the Shia fighting for prominence.

They will lose this one. It's not the time.

Between Saudis and Iranians, Bahrain's Status Is Complicated

Many of the small children wandering a protest site in front of the King's palace in Safriya on March 12 were garbed in simple white cotton shifts — traditionally used as a signal that the person is ready to die. It was symbolic of the violent turn Bahrain's once peaceful protests have taken. A three-month state of emergency went into effect on Tuesday in the small island nation, and the violence looks to intensify in the next few days, with an impending curfew in all cities and reports of gangs of thugs patrolling the streets with clubs and setting up checkpoints on main roads.

The increasingly bloody confrontation between the mostly Shi'ite protesters and their Sunni King, Hamad ibn Isa Al Khalifa, led the monarch to ask for backup on March 13 from the Joint Peninsula Shield, the military coalition established to protect members of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) from invasion. On March 14, more than 100 Saudi tanks rolled across the causeway that links Saudi Arabia and Bahrain in an effort to quell the uprising and save Bahrain's royal regime. Saudi Arabia's arrival marks the first time an outside country has intervened in a protest since the wave of unrest began in the Arab world in January.

Saudi Arabia "doesn't want its neighbor going into a free fall of political instability," says John Sfakianakis, chief economist at Banque Saudi Fransi in the Saudi capital of Riyadh. "The message the Saudis are sending is that they and the GCC will act as a force to keep these countries safe and secure."

On Tuesday afternoon, a Saudi official told the Associated Press that a Saudi soldier had been shot dead by a Bahraini protester, though the report was unconfirmed. "People are insisting more now on the fall of Hamad," says Hasan, 25, a Manama banker who is one of the protest movement's organizers. "Saudi troops are no different to us" than Bahraini soldiers, he adds.
