Guardian: Reports that the Army of Bahrain has opened fire on protesters with live ammo. This is going to be tricky for the Obama Administration, this could be a lot worse that Egypt folks, the US Fifth Fleet is stationed in the waters of Bahrain, its an important block on Iran, the majority of the population of the Kingdom are Shia, while the Royal Family is Sunni. As Iran is Shia it would play in their hands should the Sunni Royal Family be overthrown and replaced by a Shia Government. This would be seen as a major threat to the Sunni Saudi Arabia and would allow Iran major influence over the Middle East and North Africa. Lets hope POTUS has a plan or the West could be up a creek without a paddle.
