Saudi Arabia Enters Bahrain

By Micah Halpern
I've Been Thinking:
Saudi Arabia has transported 150 armored personnel carriers and 50 other vehicles including buses, ambulances, water carriers and jeeps into Bahrain.
In total, about 1000 Saudi soldiers made their way into Bahrain yesterday. The troops drove across the 16 mile causeway (bridge) connecting Bahrain to Saudi Arabia.
The Saudi military contingent made its way to the Sunni area of Riffa, an area which houses not only a military hospital, but also the royal family of Bahrain.
Bahrain is a pawn in a much bigger game.
Saudi Arabia and Iran are in conflict. The battle is between countries but it is just as much a battle between Sunnis and Shiites. Iran still claims Bahrain to be theirs and a whopping 70% of the Island is Shiite. The Saudis are in this to protect Sunni interests i.e. the leadership of Bahrain.
The unrest is getting more violent. The unrest is sponsored by Iran.
