The US is selling weapons to the Bahraini sheiks and the UK is supplying the manpower and is training the local police on how to spy on oppress and control the demonstrators.

The west / US are a bunch of hypocrites with collar around their necks tied to a chain being pulled around the world by Zionist jews to achieve the greater aim of total globe domination.

Americans would make friends with the devil himself, if it would secure oil supplies.  If such friendships didn't have the desired effect, they would either overthrow the government and install a friendly one, or simply create an excuse to invade the country and simply take the oil.  Common and everyday Americans are too naive to see what their leaders are doing.

So the American are again relying on the war machine to keep their economy ticking over, regardless of how many innocent people get slaughtered! Surley the American people don't subscribe to this, so why are they not taking their country back from the Zionist scurge?

Well said!  'FULL SPECTRUM DOMINANCE'

@ who cares No im not but stop pretending that the US is some superior entity. Its days of No1 economy (which it only has because the fiat dollar is worlds reserve currency-petrodollar system) are rapidly coming to an end. There is massive problems in the US which the majority of Americans dont realise. There will be widespread chaos and maybe a civil war once their crumbling economy comes crashing down.

"The speading of freedom and democracy around the globe."  This is nothing but a sham of the American Empire.  It's a cover for American expansionism and world domination.  Their best friends in the Middle East are dictators or anyone else who will do their bidding.

The US is selling guns to Bahrain's regime and demonstrators are dying. Russia is selling guns to Assad's regime and demonstrators are dying. Where is the difference here? When money speaks democracy has to keep silent.

Who owns and mostly is shareholding your precious democracies?
At the end of the day all of these guys (still) are desperate to sell as many weapons as possible into the Middle-East to destabilize the region as soon and far as possible, before the end-game there starts to reorganise all the world in the outcome of thermo-nuclear WW3.
If that takes place according to the plans then you really can say goodbye to America, to Russia, to China and (EU=) Germany, as at the end of WW3 there are not only far less people around (especially israelis, africans, muslims and chinese/asian people you might hardly see then - if you are still alive), even the question of who holds the power over the survivors will then have simplified to a very great degree.
"One god, one hope, one nation." When the leading people are furtheron let the possibility to sacrifice billions of other "worthless" people for their Messias Ben David, Mahdi or Jesus Christ to come back to them at the end of Armageddon and lead their very own precious leading-race to sheer and total world dominance, then you can say:
"This awesome WW3-stuff is about to happen really soon." 
They want to sacrifice/"let burn" Israel and devastate the whole Middle East to fully bring down China as the last competition or obstacle on their way to World Government. The road from Jerusalem of course leads through Tehran and then it heads directly towards Beijing.You think this is crazy? It is and nevertheless they do it and do not just refuse, because we regard them as mad. Think again. Think about the deeper meaning of WW. Question more.

The US caring about demoracy?! NO WAY!The cries about 'demoracy' are a facade for brutal neo-imperialism and regime change. If the US cared about 'democracy' why would the US government be passing legislation and laws to turn the US into a rigid police state with laws more authoritarian and totalitarian than China?
