The government consults wary protesters

The government is still not serious about the dialogue. Here are some facts that reflect reality behind the cosmetic initiative:

1- The national dialogue leader is a school drop-out and he's not qualified to lift Bahrain from its worst crisis since the 90s.

2- The participants are by invites, so they evidently do not represent people's will.
3- The riot police are still using excessive force, tear gases, rubber bullets, and stun grenades to disperse protests.
4- Hundreds are still detained, more importantly the political figures who represent the opposition are still in prison.
5- Allegation of torture floated the internet, and were confirmed by Human Rights organizations.
6-Unfair trials are still continuing.
7- Some of the participants in the National Dialogue are former infamous torturers and people who escalated the sectarian tension.

And many more..

Just typical Arab religious dealings here people, just keep moving along.

Thanks to the Economist we can read something about Bahrain.

There is a media still out in the US about whats happening in Bahrain because of the fear that of its interests. The same can be said about the US goverment

If US refuses to intervene, I think, Iran should intervene!
