The backpocket revolution in being was always there in the small towns and cities in the middle east where the lesser muslims lived lives determined by the elite rulers and the differences between crazy and violently insane. The security forces in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia worked overtime to make sure that things stayed peaceful and the shiite followers of the Ayatollahs were kept out of mischief. Sometimes, public order broke down and the security forces had to go to town and even call on the Saudis for some muscular military assistance. That was 20 years ago and I wonder how things are developing in the lands of sunni minority led emirates and kingdoms who have born witness to the fates of those like them who ruled restive masses of shiites and other ne'er-do-wells. It wasn't pretty in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan or even Oman. It's a powder keg the Ayatollahs have been doing everything they could to set alight for over 40 years.
So I wonder, how peacefully do the Kings and Emirs sleep over there in the Gulf tonight. Are the imported natives, restless? You'd never know or find out if you relied on our fake media and the rulers are doing everything in their considerable power to make sure that nobody at all delves into the goings on that don't fare well when exposed to the full light of day.
On the gripping hand, I'm pretty sure that anybody who has been even a minor thorn in the side has been rounded up and locked up for the good of the realm, and a good night's sleep.

The gulf nations welfare system must surely have been taking a beating.
That and the Saudi, Kuwaitis etc. tendency not to dirty their hands with mere work.
When I was there the joke was "How many Saudi Mechanics does it take to change the oil, WHAT's a Saudi Mechanic?".
There military for the most part is paid mercs. Better to keep restless natives down.
Going broke is hard on that scenario.
When Islam isn't waging war on us infidels they are more than happy to kill each other.
AND the BEST Part is as they Don't Build ANYTHING in the Gulf States (See note above about mercs and mechanics) IF we STOP sending them parts for their war toys...
They stop being a real threat to anybody.
Oil and Refined fuels are their business.
Neither creates metals, machined parts or even high explosives to be a hazard for others.
The WESTERN World has been SO BUSY SELLING them the weapons they "threaten us with".
No parts they can get busy breeding up enough horses to do the Jahid on us.
BTW Dan, the muzzies INSIDE our country didn't swim here.
Traitors allowed them in by western airliners.
Adress the traitors before you get frenzied about the "Over there" folks.
