the Saudi's have been supporting the royal house in Bahrain with F-16's. F-16's we sold the Saudi's.

See, it's like this. If we help the protesters in Bahrain, the Saudi's will be very angry with us and either raise the price of their oil or cut it off in some manner.

Because, there have been protests in Saudi land as well, but unless you read or listen to Al Jazera, you would never know.

It's okay for those nations outside the immediate sphere of Saudi influence to protest, but forget about it if it happens in their own back yard let alone their own nation.

Some protests are more equal than others.

So why again was NATO helping the Libyan rebels? Oil fields in the eastern part of the country need to be protected for Europe. Who currently is holding the eastern part of Libya? The rebels. If the shoe was on the other foot, NATO would be bombing the rebels and claiming Qaddafi was the rightful ruler.

It's all a game.
