..though I won't hold my breath. Chances are another 'new' decision will come about in another week or so.

But while people are still imprisoned and tortured there, and doctors and nurses are being tried for simply treating patients during the uprising, Bahrain should not get 'rewarded' by hosting F1.

The message they're trying to present to the world, that everything is A-okay there now, is complete BS. When they stop oppressing 70% of their population, maybe then they can join the ranks of countries given the privilege of hosting world-class international sporting events.

Until then, they should be denied the opportunity, no matter how much money they throw on the table as an enticement.
