The issue of Bahrain is very complicated. The king of Bahrain used to get financial assistants from the most important countries in the Gulf area which are KSA, and Kuwait. From very close resources who are living in Bahrain, they told me that:
- The whole income of Bahrain is coming form 1- Gulf financial assistants 2- The 5th American fleet (and what that could bring to the kingdom from services and investments most of which are exclusive benefits for the royal family!!!),
- The Shea people are considered as the 3/4 of the whole kingdom,
- The policies in the kingdom are coming form KSA, which adopting powerfully the sustain of Sunni in power,
- They are giving nationalities to individuals from Pakistan and India to work in Police and Army forces, meanwhile Shea citizens have no rights to fill such important kind of jobs,
- The forces of Gulf interventions are legal according to the conventions of the GCC,
- A fare point of view telling that there also some Sunni citizens have the same requires because of the general social injustice.
My point of view: King of Bahrain now is telling KSA: "come to save the policies that you are paying me applying them because guys I lost control". He spent a lot of time waiting for KSA king to return from his treatment journey in US, and he trusted KSA would help him to contain the situation to his benefits.
He was lazy and unwise enough to make inside political and social corrections, the matter that made such raise of people claimant roof.
The protesters started their revolution peacefully, however the corrupted individuals for a reason or another ( I can give you a list ) set the fire on the situation transforming it into chaos actions.
The matter which appeared uncivilized in front of the world public opinion. Iran from the other side speaks frankly that it wont stand still watching the riot forces killing Shea people, and it may move a fleet to save them. That matter is which can be called as a intervention!!
However, when you listen to Pakistan giving Iran a harsh letter telling that it will move towards any move from Iran against Bahrain or the Gulf, you feel that what happened in Bahrain was not a revolution in comparison to what happened in many of the ME countries!!! The revolution lost its revolutionary peaceful soul, and the Shea protests are starting to seek help from Iran!!!!
Well, in conclude I think if that would make any difference, send the Shea people to live in Iran, and Iran please shut up because your are not innocent as well ( a lot of demonstrations have happened against the government) and send the Sunni people to live in Bahrain if that makes all parties satisfied.
A simple question to Iran have been raised lately, "Why Iran are not moving a finger to save either the poor Libyans while they are getting crushed by the Qaddafi forces or the poor Yemenis? Not even with a word!!!!
Can we conclude that Iran in addition to Turkey from a different angle are trying to regain the old regional control rule on the Middle East on the account of innocent people regardless the believe!!!
When you compare Oman with Bahrain you find the same circumstances. Oman full of different religious communities as well, in addition it is a limited resourced county and they also receiving the GCC financial assistants. However, their Sultan was as wise as possible to start immediately all the possible corrections into the government, that matter which helped in calming down the protests, along with not adopting the policy of the dummy riot abuse.
The problem in Bahrain actually coming from the royal family itself. They are same to the Qaddafis. They are taking all the benefits and resources of the country into their personal advantages under the eye and hear of their societies and under the protection of the most important Kingdom of the GCC; as its known in the Gulf that Bahrain is the spoiled little daughter of KSA, along with the strategic protection of the well known 5th fleet.
I think time came to make King of Bahrain pays for his own mistakes instead of helping him and sticking the shame on other countries in front of the public world opinion. The Gulf Shield forces must inter Bahrain, but to:
- kick the spoiled family aside,
- contain the situation with negotiations with the oppositions ( an easy task, because they don have leaders or powerful parties!), and
- ensures the control of the Gulf forces on the Gulf area, letting not even 1% chance to a real intervention, the matter that we do not all want.
God Save The King!
