   I don't think we have been silent at all on the pro-democracy movements   
   in Bahrain or anyplace else.  As for Saudi Arabia, their opposition   
   can't get off the ground.  As for the invasion, it has happened at the   
   same time as the Japanese earthquake/tsunami/nuclear explosions, so it   
   is no surprise that has been the media's focus.  Perhaps a lot of people   
   don't even know about the Saudi invasion.
