    I think the importance of Bahrain's system more than the importance of Mubarak's regime with the U.S. and the West without him with popular pressure.

    But I'm asking, g Q, if the answer is yes to all questions of reform would be a first but if it ceased to be the futility of reform:
    Q 1: Will the recovery of all lands registered on behalf of the members of the royal family, which Astmkouha unjustly and the first island of Umm Nassan.
    Question 2: Will the recovery of the sea figures are recorded in the name of the pillars of governance.
    Q3: Do you give up the royal family for their share of equity and partnership in most companies and huge investments in the country, which is supposed to go to the state treasury.
    Q 4: Will the withdrawal of citizenship from naturalized all who work in the Bahrain Defense Force and is employed Bahrainis from all classes of people in the Defence Force and the officers in the interior and defense of all classes of people and not restricted to a specific category.
    Q 5: Will I be held accountable and prosecute the perpetrators of complex funds billions for the duration of the previous regime it will recover the money.
    Q6: Will the trial of the torturers and the tortured story of a well-known in Bahrain and the royal family g
    Q 7: Do you give up the royal family from intervening in politics, there will be no Minister of this family in the government.
    Q 8: Do you buy will be held accountable of the islands in Thailand, the Philippines and questions of where did you get this.
    Q9: Do you trust in the system of the pledges and promises to veto the former, which aired on the products relevant and then disavowed them.
    Q 10: Will the reform of the judicial system and accountability of judges who issued sentences against the unjust people</span>

    reading that quote makes me want to post the Declaration of Independence, Skip.

    however, it is easily searched for anyone wanting to make comparisons.

    UPDATE 2/11: The King of Bahrain has just announced a "gift" of $3,000 to be given to each family in Bahrain. No doubt this is designed to head off the scheduled protests on 2/14.

    Those Mideast despots are sure on the defensive now!

    POWER TO THE PEOPLE!

    UPDATE 2/15: Second protester killed during a funeral (see video below), as thousands gather in central Bahrain to protest government restrictions.

    Video of tear gas being used to disburse a funeral march for a protester in Bahrain. I wonder if the tear gas being used in Bahrain is of U.S. origin.

    I think we should watch the events happening in Bahrain very carefully as they will reveal the true extent of US influence there, and how far the US is willing to back these despots. Remember that Bahrain is a major US base in the Persian Gulf, home to the US 5th fleet, essential to US operations in the Mideast. The US cannot afford to lose their base, hence I think that there will NOT be a successful revolution there, cause the US will do whatever is necessary to keep its bases there. If a civilian gov't takes over, they might not renew the leases.

    Where is the US gov't comment on these Bahrain protests? Is the US going to back the Free Speech rights of the Bahrainian people or is our base there more important than what the USA is supposed to stand for? Considering that the US basically controls the place, it's amazing that they are allowing these civil rights violations to happen under their noses. What hypocrisy!

    It amazes me how many police do this to people who want fairness and equality. Do they honestly think the government is making the right decisions to fire upon the people?

    What. The. Fuck.

    Police like that are trained (brainwashed) with the mentality: "I don't write the laws, I'm just a mindless putz who enforces them."

    FBC, dude, way too mild. Fucking nazi pigs are only doing the dirty work for the gutter slut pimps that give them paychecks.

    If the government is there for the fucking people then why the hell are they killing the same people they are there for?

    I despise anyone that can justify taking innocent lives.
