The antics of the so-called “Opposition” in Bahrain knows no bounds. Last of such vicious antics is their suggestion to learn from the Yemeni dialogue experience.

Interestingly, the so-called “Opposition” appears to ignore the fact that the Yemeni revolution succeeded and that the opposition’s alleged revolt in Bahrain had failed. It is a universal fact, both diplomatically and militarily, that the defeated cannot dictate terms of negotiations, but Al Wefaq and company are looking at the situation from a different angle.

Yemen is where Iran had set its agents, the Houthis, to kill and maim and wreck havoc; it is where Iran is sending ships full of arms to turn a civil conflict into a full-fledged war; it is where certain parties are calling for dividing the country into a Shi’ite north and Sunni south; it is where American drones are killing civilians at will, under the pretext of quelling militancy.

This is the part of the Yemeni Dialogue that Al Wefaq and company are conjuring in their dreams. It is a situation they dream of achieving through stalling tactics, campaigns of terror and religious strifes.

The opposition in Bahrain are playing for time, and feeding their followers an alternative, hypothetical and sick reality, where their masters would put us all to fire and the sword, morphing us into a failed state like they did to other countries in the region.
But we see through your plans. We have been fooled once, but never again.
