Thanks 4 ur good advice. I'm presently on wait and watch mode. Anyway, IMHO, things here would not get as ugly as Iraq as the case is a lot different here. Here one side is completely dominated by the other and the opressed side does not and will not get any arm/ finance support from across the border, contrary to popular beliefs. At bese, these non-violent protest may continue from time to time coupled with some sporadic small violent attacks here and there. However, Bahrain won't be the same place to live anymore. Believe me, prior to all these, it was one of the best places to live in the world. You get everything under the sun, good infrustructure, very friendly localites and cost of living cheaper compared to other places.
