This is some of the most disturbing *live* news I've heard in a long while.

Very disturbing.

From earlier today:





Bahrain security forces fire on defiant protesters

Security forces opened fire Friday on Bahraini protesters for a second straight day, wounding at least 50 people as thousands defied the government and marched toward Pearl Square in an uprising that sought to break the political grip of the Gulf nation's leaders.

Once again, Bahrain authorities showed no hesitation in using force against demonstrators who ramped up demands to bring down the whole ruling monarchy.

U.S. President Barack Obama condemned the use of violence against the protesters in Bahrain, as well as in Libya and Yemen, where heavy crackdowns by old-guard regimes were reported. A Libyan doctor said 35 protesters were killed in the eastern city of Benghazi during a confrontation with security forces, while four people were killed and 48 were wounded during protests called as part of a "Friday of Rage" in Yemen.



Obviously affluence has no bearing upon the potential consequences of tyranny.

He sounds so shocked. It's so clear in his voice...



For some reason, that disturbs me the most. How many of us would sound the same?

I might sound like that....

It seems the Bahrain, Algerian, Syrian, and Libyan military have none of the restraint of the Egyptian. What a shame. People killing people.

I don't want to believe such a thing is possible here.

I fear the possibility, but don't *want* to believe it possible...

Yeah well,.........I'm pretty sure the citizens of Bahrain didn't "WANT" to believe it was possible in their country either.
But, here the hell it is. all over youtube, so we can sit in the comfort of our homes and watch it.....after American Idol of course.

Edit to add:

Allow me to fill in for an already very busy Hillary Clinton.

Ehemmmm,
"The United States 'strongly condemns" blahhh blahhh blahhhhh"
