Should our attention be on Bahrain? Here's a link to an article by Peter Lee on CounterPunch, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia's Rulers Goose-Step to the Brink of the Abyss.
The Middle East situation is so twisted and complicated I've often avoided even reading about it; the problem is just too complex. But for years, my fears have been about two countries that I regard as crucial: Pakistan and Saudi Arabia. Pakistan is politically unstable, plagued by religious fundamentalists, and has nuclear weapons; Saudi Arabia, home to 17 of the 19 World Trade Center assassins, is a repressive, medieval regime with rulers that live in unimaginable wealth -- Louis The Sun King? Fogeddaboutit! -- and the biggest oil reserves on the planet.
