Bahrain’s behavior out of control

HERE.

According to an opposition leader, they are harassing hospitals with deliberate electricity cuts, and in one case pulled a surgeon out of surgery, presumably leaving the patient to die on the operating table. Also reports of systematic attacks on villages.

I think it’s no accident that this much harsher repression began as soon as the foreign Gulf forces arrived (Saudi and Emirati).

The situation is a complete disgrace, and I’m afraid a bit of the blood is on U.S. hands here. We have enough weight with all of the countries involved that we could have made it clear that this would be unacceptable.
