There Is No Such Thing As A Brotherly Arab Army

Thousands of Saudi troops have entered Bahrain to repress the demonstrations there (video above of Saudi Tanks getting ready to enter Bahrain). From personal experience as a Lebanese who had to endure the ill-mentioned Syrian “peace keeping” in my country, I’m telling you that this is nothing short of a foreign invasion.

People are going to resent, resist and hate your invading army as if it were the devil itself. Don’t fool yourself into believing that you are “sister nations”.
