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.

Misconceptions of the Middle East

Since the beginning of the upheaval in the Middle East, most of the world following the catastrophe has been manipulated by the news media into believing this is all about human rights and higher pay. Some of this is true. There is no question that dictators like Qaddafi, Mubarak, Ben Ali, among others, have ruled over their people with an iron fist.

However the situation is much more than that and there has been too many misconceptions about what is really going on in the Middle East. Isn't it interesting that you have a dictator like Qaddafi in Libya that is vowing to start a civil war against protesters, not to mention his country harbors a deep resentment against Israel, as it is with all the other Middle Eastern nations. Yet, the clerical leader of the Muslim Brotherhood Yusuf al-Qaradawi has called for Qaddafi's assassination. Qaradawi also wants Israel gone. He spoke in front of thousands of protesters calling for the eliminating of Jews and that they will be punished, much like how Hitler carried this act out in Nazi Germany.

So why would two people who hate Israel, want to kill one another?

Do you see what is happening here? You have dictators that run countries and now they face an even larger threat. If you can get rid of all of these governments, and if the Muslim Brotherhood can infiltrate and persuade their followers to establish a 'new Middle East', the world is going to have one huge problem, not to mention, the economic conditions, will be critical.

This appears to be the common misconception. Here in America, all you hear is this talk of "down with the dictators, let the Arab people have peace!" Yet, people don't realize the evil behind the evil.

Now, in addition to Tunisia, Egypt, Algeria and Libya; Yemen, Bahrain, Oman and Jordan have all began to experience major protests. The one country that is apparently surrounded by this fire is Saudi Arabia. If this country begins to feel the pressure, think of what kind of impact this is going to have on gas prices right here in the United States.

We're in for some tough seas.

Protests in Middle East not a good thing?

There is heavy concern right now with relation to the continued protests in North Africa and the Middle East. As everyone is no doubt already aware, there has been political unrest in a growing list of countries including Tunisia, Algeria, Lebanon, Yemen and most recently inspiring riots against Hosni Mubarak's authoritarian regime in Egypt.

Thus far, the protests from these nations' people are meant to call for an end of the wrath of dictatorship from their leaders, and establish more solvent countries without the crisis of inflation, shortages, poverty and high unemployment.

Many economists did not expect Egypt to revolt against its own government. Well, that obviously was not the case. As of today, the riots in Egypt have become so bad, that members of the country's own police force decided to join the people and for the first time in history, an entire country shut down its internet access to try and isolate its people from the outside. Also today, President Mubarak agreed to fire his entire cabinet, but still refused to step aside.

President Obama has been cheering on the riots, but asking for a more civil and non-violent approach and also called for President Mubarak to engage in this more civil tone with Egypt's people, or the United States will cut off aid to the country.

Now the first argument to this of course is going to be that the United States should just mind its own business. Well, despite the fact that the people in these countries want new government and leadership, there is also something else which might determine that the escalating tension in the Middle East is not a good thing.

As WikiLeaks uncovered the secret cables concerning our beloved Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and the knowledge she hid from the American people over Saudi Arabia's involvement in financing terrorism, they have also uncovered documentation of Ms. Clinton's pressure on Middle Eastern nations in particular to push for government reform. One of those nations was Egypt.

So now, the Middle East is in a position of reform, by the riots we've seen from their people. But what kind of reform is it leading to?

Egypt is one of the United States' most trusted allies in the Middle East and they're one of very few countries that has peace with Israel. If Egypt's government entirely collapses, which apparently it is as we speak, this means Sharia Law could be imposed, which is dominated by Muslims. Is it just a surprise that radical Muslims want to whip out Israel?

We should all see the common trend here and it looks rather frightening. Meanwhile, Lebanon's entire government has collapsed and they're trying to shove Hezbollah leaders down that country's throat, who by the way, also want to destroy Israel.

The protests that started in Yemen? They have not been entirely successful on riding al-Qaeda out of their country.

Iran? A clown like Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is just waiting in the wings with his nuclear plans. He's already an ally of Hezbollah, and the destabilization in Egypt is the last 'piece of the puzzle' to finally get Israel off the face of the Earth.

Yet, we hear virtually nothing from our leaders in Washington about these common factors, nor the fact that right now we are on the brink of beginning to witness a full scale war in the Middle East.

Like everyone else that HAS seen this trend, I hope I'm wrong.

Worse than Watergate, Saudis financing Terrorism

What has to be worse than Watergate and the secrets uncovered during the Bush Administration over the War in Iraq, another released U.S. diplomatic cable from WikiLeaks indicates that Saudi Arabia is the world's largest financier of radical Islamic terrorism groups in Pakistan and Afghanistan.

Incredible.

In one of the memos from December 2009, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton says that "more needs to be done since Saudi Arabia remains a critical financial support base for al-Qaeda, the Taliban and Hamas which probably raises millions of dollars annually from Saudi sources... Saudi Arabia constitutes the most significant source of funding to Sunni terrorist groups worldwide..."

This is a country that is supposed to be the United States' ally in the Middle East. I'm curious as to how long Mrs. Clinton was going to fool the American people by going on propagating this charade of pretending to be friendly to Saudi Arabia, even though she had direct knowledge in these secret cables that the country was financing terrorism this entire time.

Here's just a side of advice for the Madam Secretary... resign!

The cable does indicate that Saudi Arabia has been attempting to block financing to terrorist networks in the Middle East, and also went to cite Arabia's bordering country, tiny little Qatar, another ally, as being the "worst in the region" concerning its counter-terrorism relationship with the United  States.

Perhaps Qatar, even though as small of a country as it is with the billions of dollars it has in resources as a kingdom, has the capabilities to deal with terrorist threats. But perhaps it is resistant to do so, because of Saudi Arabia's now leaked relationship in financing millions of dollars to these terrorist organizations that are committed to destroying Israel and the United States.

I'd suspect and would not be entirely surprised that the Middle Eastern region is nearly on the verge of breaking out into a massive war. Iraq is a disaster area, U.S. troops have been unsuccessful in their attempts to capture Osama bin Laden in Afghanistan, Iran has a nuclear program bent on whipping Israel off the face of the Earth and now Saudi Arabia one of few Middle East allies of the U.S. is financing terrorism throughout the entire region, while Secretary Clinton feels it was necessary to keep all of this completely secret from the American people.

It is just disgraceful.
