All Quiet on the Bahrain Front

In Bahrain, Shiites outnumber Sunnis 4 -1. However, the Sunnis are in power. They seem bent on wreaking havoc on the Shiites. One of their primary tools is destroying Shiite mosques. But, you know from the news, they are doing much more, even to the point of bringing in troops from Saudi Arabia. And, of course, they've started to shut down media that the state does not control.

And what does our country say? I guess our message varies depending upon what country is involved and how much we are beholden to them.
