Bahrain was a pawn in the hoomin rites Nazis' game because they well knew that every Friday after prayers there was a street battle between Sunnis and Shiites. Always at that particular roundabout. However once the HRNs saw this they immediately held it up as a fight against oppresion. Again the Bahraini government paid the rioters off and it's all peace and light again. Except the Friday street battle has moved.
Soo all about money, not human rights.

Probably the usual story Pete, the 'politicians' taking advantage of the populace to engineer an uprising to further their own ends, but I like to think they succeed because of the will of the people to be free. Sadly usually swapping one dictatorship for another.
