And, of course I think it's a legitimate one.
The USA wants its puppets of the Arab Gulf kingdoms and monarchies to stay as they are, at the same time, they are trying to save faces by pretending to support the revolution in Bahrain.
They secretly tell the government to quiet down the voices of the people, while its real interest is to avoid any shiites controlling that country. It has the main base for US marines.
It's a moral vs interests dilemma, and looks like, just like always, the US interests will prevail.
Although the US Government and some European ones want crimes happening in Bahrain not to be heard by their people and censor so many news about it and clearly support Bahrain's tyrant government inorder to be able to continue to have their own benefits in Bahrian, Bahraini people will be successful.
