This is so terrible, why do governments never learn?

This is reminiscent of when the English started randomly shooting innocent Irish protesters on 'Bloody Sunday'.

The cost of freedom is never free

Dear blue, Those people are following their Religious men, those religious men are loyal to Iran, its a big Agenda, a lot of media are not showing the full picture, medias wrongly show a video which is a part of a full event, and some medias are following political agenda to weakness Bahrain gevornment.

@suxsux77 While there are many reasons to why Bahrain does indeed need a protest - the reason why it reached to such an aggressive, exaggerated degree lies in the protests' political leaders: Al-Wefaq. 18/40 seats in the parliament, yet thirsty for more power.. I just want to understand what's so liberal, democratic about putting our hands with those who arranged a protest against development in women rights in 2009? + Callingforsegregationofgender,­restricting women from obtaining masculine jobs

@suxsux77 I think it should be clear by now, how Sunni neighborhoods are hardly protesting while Shiite neighborhoods are heavily protesting.. does indicate religious/social background plays a big role in this revolution. Protests barely erupted in any Gulf country, and Bahrain's ranked as not only the most liberal country of the Gulf but the most in the Middle East by some news sources; why would Bahraini Shiites, out of all countries around it, call for their secular government to fall?
