There is much unrest in the Middle East and the US needs not to turn a blind eye to what is going on in Bahrain. An average US citizen can be overwhelmed by the news today as they keeping hearing about protest in the Middle East and asking themselves “why does this matter to me?” But it is of the utmost importance especially as we are seeing a rise in violence and protest.
If protest in Bahrain continues we could see Saudi Arabia getting involved. A key grievance is Sunnis against Shias. The reason Saudi Arabia would get involved with Bahrain’s protest is because much like Bahrain it is ruled by a Sunni family and have been discriminating against Shias for decades.
If we allow Saudi Arabia gets involved we are in trouble and the Middle East will be in all out protest. We will see a split of Sunnis vs. Shias. In places like Iraq and Iran we will see an upraise of the Kurd people all trying to gain power to and have their fair representation.
By next week I would predict that we will see several other countries joining in protest against their government.
