    Just looking at all the shoite going on in Bahrain currently and the people involved it got me a thinking

    These scenes, although sport related, are very similar to those that occurred in the so called Arab Spring

    This includes Syria currently and Libya, and we all know what that eventually led to

    The conclusion that can be drawn from this is that had the media not given so much coverage to these events they would not have occurred
    Also the people making the most noise are the so called 'activists' for human rights/freedom etc and there are political parties getting in on the act as they can see headlines.

    Did the media in essence 'cause' conflict?

    What we have here is simple a case of the idiots who run F1 being a bunch of insensitive @rseholes used to treating the whole world as their playground. I hope they all go up in flames.

    Meanwhile, in other news, why is there not one single Moslem country anywhere in the world that isn't a quasi fascist regime? That question is not intended to be whatever the religeous version of rascist is, I just genuinely wonder why the whole Islamic world is basically a f*****g mess?

    If you look at the history of the 'muslim' countries (and I put that in speach marks as non fit the criteria of being a muslim country in terms of rulership, but are in terms of majority muslim population, and then some would not fall into that category but thats another debate), youwill see that most of the governments and even opposition parties are puppets.

    The ones pulling the strings at the moment would be America, but Britain is a suprisingly BIG player. The americans poodle so to speak?

    The Americans supported Mubarak (Egypt was the second highest recipient of US aid after Israel), are currently providing training to Bahraini police and troops and they also strongly support the Saudi royal family.

    Its not so obvious in other countries

    Pakistans nuclear programme (at least the software) was the 'aid' that it got during Musharrafs regime. Benazir as prime minister WASNT allowed to know or visit the plants. Don think the current regime is either

    Indias 'aid' that gets people riled up isnt really for the poor. A lot of it goes into the computer villages (which host the CIA files) <yikes>

    Yasser Arafat was married to a Jewish woman and many believed was a plant, same with gaddafi's 'nurse'

    Gaddaffi bought ****loads of weapons from 'us'

    assads weapons currently being used are from guess who? Furthermore Israel is assads biggest ally and wont 'allow' intervention from 'us'

    Karzai is no different from bin laden, but is a friend. and has been worse for 'womens lib' in afghanistan than the taliban were

    So it's Team America and their evil British running-dog lackeys that are to blame for all the woes of the Arab world, eh? Hmmn, heard that old b*ll*cks before somewhere. Just before the Berlin wall came down, in fact.

    I wouldn't resrict it to the Arab world, and I wouldn't restrict it to the Americans and British either.

    Oh Christ-on-a-bike. I've wandered into a bona fide nutter fest. Are the Templars involved in some way? Or the Masons?

    yeah, yeah. blah blah blah

    The Assad regime is Alawite, and hated by both sunni's and shia's. Its a minority regime ruling a majority

    In 2005 even Ariel Sharon told Bush to lay off Assad and Syria under the guise of 'beter the devil you know'.

    Recently Ehud Barak has pressurised Obama (publicly) to lay off the Syrian regime and Assad. Even the Russians, who vetoed UN security council, have done so due to the Russian Jewish Lobby.

    IF the syrian Alawite party was to fall Israel is prepared to recieve its refugees, &#8220;On the day the Assad regime falls, it is expected to harm the Alawite clan. We are preparing to receive Alawite refugees on the Golan Heights,&#8221; Israeli Army Chief Benny Gantz. The Sunni's escaping the bloodshed are not being welcomed
