Arabian troops deployed to Bahrain

As the world has focused its attention on the devastation in Japan, tension continues to escalate in the Middle East.

Yesterday, Saudi Arabia deployed roughly 1,000 military troops to Bahrain, the small Island country in the Persian Gulf and the most recent country to spark protests like the ones we've already seen in Tunisia, Egypt, Yemen and Libya. The purpose of Saudi Arabia enforcing military intervention in Bahrain claims to support the monarchy against the opposing demonstrators.

The opposition calls the intervention by Saudi Arabia as nothing more than an act of "undeclared war".

Bahrain's government apparently called upon outside force from Saudi Arabia on Sunday after protests that were so large, gathered in Pearl Square, set up roadblocks and stood their ground in its financial district. Martial law imposed by Bahrain, required its police force to use tear gas against the protesters, but it was deemed to be too ineffective. The Peninsula Shield Force, which is made up of neighboring countries including Saudi Arabia, Oman, Kuwait, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates were deployed to maintain security and stability.

The demonstrators in Bahrain led by a majority of Shiite Muslims, claim that they are hoping to remove the Sunni Monarchy, and Sunnis are concerned that any change of rule would threaten their own foundations they've had for over two hundred years.

Not to mention that if Shiite Muslims were to gain control, it may even give more of an indicator for Iran, also led by Shiites, to make a move against other countries in the region.

Interestingly, that nation's government led by the Hitler of our time, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, has remained rather silent since all of these protests began across the region nearly three months ago.
