The inconsistency in US responses to anti-government activity in the Arab world is very interesting. Peaceful demonstrations in Bahrein are brutally attacked by police. The US government does nothing beyond issuing a mild criticism. Peaceful demonstrations in Syria are brutally attacked by the army, entire towns are surrounded, hundreds of demonstrators are killed and injured. The US government calls for dialogue between Assad and oppositionists. An armed uprising in Libya is opposed by government forces. The US government joins in with Britain and France in hijacking the uprising and attempting to overthrow the government by force.
