Well we had despots running away in January and february, now whose turn is it going to be during the next three months. Looks like some are already trying to outdo each other and get there first

MENA is waking up!

Some have been numbed by fear and some by wealth but all have been forcedly silenced... and as someone said “the time is now” for the "Printemps Arabe"!

Bahrain is very interesting case.

Minority Sunni rulers rule over a majority Shia population.

It's a refined version of Saddam's Iraq, albeit better governance and system compared to Iraq.

But I don't think that Sunni rulers can rule forever on Shia population without some kind of power-sharing in future.

On positive side, Bahrain has full US backing.

Forget Iran..

The main concern is Bahrain at present.

Police have used tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse some crowds. Whilst i don't beleive the government will fall, it will be interesting to see what concessions are made..

I think there were news of protests in Yemen and Bahrain.

Yemen, they used force.

Any update from Bahrain?
