These troubles in Bahrain have been going on since the Arab Spring in 2011, since which time the government has been taking a brutal hand to supressing and silencing its detractors, so the situation in that country has been intrinsically unstable for a long time and I think remains unpredictable. The middle east could easily get worse before it gets better from this point forward as some of the gains recently made in Syria and Yemen are starting to unravel, not to mention the horrific bombing that just occurred in Baghdad on Saturday night. Let's face it the world is a bit of a mess at the moment in a number of respects but while the west can keep papering over the problems everything stays manageable. I just wonder if something mightn't come soon that shifts the comfort zones of the people living in the western world. Europe seems an uglier place in recent times and the refugees from the middle east wars don't help that cause. Time to keep a closer eye on developments IMO. Eshmun
