As Middle Eastern revolts continue to progress, tragic news stories like this are frequently becoming part of the everyday norm. Yet sadly, we just have to sit and watch. Are we capable of preventing these daily revolts and tradgies? Well, of course not, no. But this hopefully promotes specific governments to take a step back from their smokescreen lives and look at what is really happening to their countries. Eyewitnesses of this most recent attack stated that pro-government forces attacked a peaceful protest of 5,000 college students. According to the CNN Wire Staff, "About 150 supporters of the royal family tried to get onto Bahrain University campus during the protest there, but only some managed to get in. An unknown number of people were injured, but it's not clear how many or how badly."
Why can't we all live in peace? At least deaths aren't being reported. Most government attack weapons consist of tear gas; still those are brutally painful. Reports earlier this week tell of approximately 350 protesters withholding tear gas during their advancement. Now understandably, with a Sunni Muslim minority government ruling over the predominately Shiite island nation in the Persian Gulf, yeah you are going to see rev lots happening. However when the government does not recognize these revolts or acknowledges them as happening at all, there is a problem. A problem that must be solved soon.
