Many wounded and injured in Bahrain. Where's the UN to protect those people? Oh, UN expresses their "deepest concerns". That ought to stop the Bahranian King and Saudi Troops.

Comparing this single incident, albeit it being terrible, to the more wide-scale military destruction of what has been going on in Libya, including Ghaddafi's more recent threats to decimate a city of 700,000 people, isn't entirely fair. If this kind of killing goes on for a couple of weeks and includes aircraft bombing cities and tanks rolling along streets in offensives, then maybe you can make a case.

And the Saudi troops have not, to this date, anyway, been involved in coming into contact with Bahrainian civilians.
