We are spending a fortune and wasting the lives of wonderful young people (of all nationalities) because of the mess we have made trying to bring "democracy" to Afghanistan.
In support of that effort the Americans (and us?) are spending a fortune helping a rotten government in Pakistan.
We welcomed the "Arab Spring" and the uprising of people against their dictatorial governments in Tunis, Egypt, Lybia, Yemen, Syria and Bahrain (and why do all commentators forget Bahrain when commenting on these events?)
We are spending a fortune and risking the lives of our own and other NATO young people by helping rebels in Lybia.
The world is strongly condemming what is happening in Syria - and all have positively welcomed decisions by the governments of Saudi Ariabia, Bahrain Kuwait etc to withdraw their Ambasadors from that country.
So how come there is no protest against the continuing crack-down on Bahraini Shias by their own government supported by Saudi Arabia's troups?
How come there is no protest from America or the UK when Pakistan (being massively financially supported by the West don't forget) agrees to continue to send troups to Bahrain to support Saudia Arabia and the Bahrain government in the crack-down on those Bahraini citizens who object to being treated as second-class citizens because of their religion, and medical staff because they treated protestors?
It is true that my freedom fighters are your terrorists, and my protestors are your criminal rioters!
