Ditto.

I hope that Bahrain can make the transition to something better peaceful. That would truly be the greatest outcome.

The people of the Middle East have seem to have woken from their slumber and realise they do have the power to bring about change, not with a gun and threat, but with a will and a voice that refuses to be silenced. To those who seek the freedom to speak out, may you succeed. To those who have achieved it, the on going cost of that freedom is the unceasing responsibility to keep what they have won.

I worked there for a couple of months, and I've passed through many times, and I think it is the best Gulf state I've visited (not done UAE, Yemen, or Qatar though.) Although it's always been uneasy and unfair Sunni over Shia (like most places) it has always been welcoming, and I too would like to see some peaceful reform - every article in the news on Radio Bahrain was 'somebody Al Khalifa'.

And the price of beer needs to be drastically reduced!

I lived there about two and a half years (dad's last overseas tour before we came here), and it was definitely something else. I would hate to see Bahrain get ripped up
