The Blind Shaikh and Formula One in Stalag Bahrain………

BFF

“It is impossible to overstate the importance of Formula One in Bahrain's quest to revive the national economy and unite a fragmented society, organisers of the kingdom's annual grand prix said on Sunday. A wave of unrest in the country last year led to the cancellation of the 2011 Bahrain Grand Prix. This year's race, scheduled to run from April 20 to 22 in Sakhir, is being marketed with the slogan "Unified: One nation in celebration"…….."Life has come back to normal, people are moving around without problem now," Al Khalifa said. "I don't see an issue. …….. ”

“I don’t see an issue” the potentate said. Of course he “don’t” see an issue. He is not being shot at, attested, robbed, tortured, assaulted, threatened with rape. He must be pretending blindness to the plight of a majority of the people of Bahrain living under apartheid. He must be deaf not to hear the bullets and the screams of the people.
