As Saudi Arabia moved into Bahrain to squelch the pro-democracy movement, the United States was very quick to announce:
“We’ve seen the reports that you’re talking about. This is not an invasion of a country”
In short, giving cover to the anti-democratic Saudi regime.
With “freedoms” like this, who needs democracy?
This may be a very fateful decision for both the Saudis, if not the United States. It very clearly plays out their hands – that they are aligned against democracy when it creates a threat against the Saudi nation.
