2. Yea, remember of all the media coverage of Saudi troops entering Bahrain last March?

Saudi soldiers sent into Bahrain

Saudi troops and police from UAE deployed to Gulf neighbour to help protect government facilities after weeks of unrest.

Last Modified: 15 Mar 2011 04:05 GMT

Hundreds of Saudi troops have entered Bahrain to help protect government facilities there amid escalating protests against the government.

Bahrain television on Monday broadcast images of troops in armoured cars entering the Gulf state via the 26km causeway that connects the kingdom to Saudi Arabia.

The arrival of the troops follows a request to members of the Gulf Co-Operation Council (GCC) from Bahrain, whose Sunni rulers have faced weeks of protests and growing pressure from a majority Shia population to institute political reforms.

The United Arab Emirates has also sent about 500 police to Bahrain, according to Abdullah bin Zayed Al-Nahyan, the Emirati foreign minister.

6. As was pointed out already, it depends just where in the ME it's happening..
Somewhere like Syria, Libya or Iran, it'll be all over the n00z, Saudi or Bahrain and it's "Protests, what protests?"

7. If this was happening in the Middle East
There would be a kinetic military action in support of the rebels, 1000's of dead and wounded clogging the medical facilities, the leader of the country would be spiriting his wealth and family out of the country to safety, the Generals would be moving in to restore order and you can bet that WOULD be all over the media.

Good thing we're not the Middle East.
