US response to Libya and Bahrain: Why is the difference?


Why there is a marked difference between US response to unrests in Libya and Bahrain?

If you simply go by the personalities of the respective dictators in those countries, yes madman Gaddafi seems like the guy we all love to kick out. But wait a minute, Bahrain has a 300 years old royal family rule whose brutality we now see out in the streets of Bahrain. Shouldn’t Bahrain’s royal dictators be removed just as Gaddafi for the royal crimes against their own citizens? After all Bahrain citizens are only demanding DEMOCRACY, a voice for the people, a rule by the people for the people, a people’s constitution that servers the citizens. Bahrainians are demanding DEMOCRACY, not continuation of the ROYAL RULE.
Ironically enough, democracy is the heart and soul of USA. For decades US foreign policy was directed by the sole principle of promoting democracy elsewhere, believing that democracy is always better than any other forms of governance. Yes time and again we can agree democracy is the way. Yes USA, you’re correct, democracy is the way.

Then why on earth is USA not encouraging the rule of democracy in Bahrain? Instead we see a subtle approval/protection is been bestowed upon the 300 years old royal rule.

Granted Bahrain’s royal family is no madman Gaddafi, but that doesn’t mean approval or protecting the royal family’s iron fist at the cost of suppressing the local voice for democracy. The USA must unconditionally demand the voice of the people be heard, very loud and clear.

People of Bahrain want democracy and they want it NOW.

USA is the mother of all democracies, she must care, promote and protect the very principle of democracy. At least so we believe.

But the US response to Libya and Bahrain is clearly a total hypocrisy.  It is the not the personality of Gaddafi or Bahrain’s royal members that matter here. What matters is the promotion of democracy specially at its infancy, as we see in recent revolutions in the Arab world, and Bahrain in particular.

US must speak loud and clear now for democracy. Or will it give-in to the mouthwatering seductive taste of Oil.

I guess money makers, dictators, royal families, capitalists, are all just one happy family of crazy demons. Its rarely about principles, isn’t it?

The US response to Libya and Bahrain are not about principles, obviously, it’s all about money (for the rich and the super rich).

Therefore, Equal Money System, Equal Life Party, Equal Labor System, Equality for All, World Equality, is the real solution for our world problems, because they support life, all life, unconditionally, yes even the rich will be supported.

Investigate, if you dare to care.
