Bahrain

[Hoosier]

Since I made posts for Egypt and Libya, might as well give Bahrain it's day in the sun. Bahrain is a small country, with a small population. Many of them are generally poor. When Google Earth was introduced, people began looking at the size, number, and scope of the properties owned by the ruling family. It became such a problem that Google Earth/Maps were blocked by ISP's in the country. Someone put together a PDF that "went viral" in country, here's the contents of it:

Even though the country is small, the potential impact to the US is much larger, as it's the home to the US Navy's Fifth Fleet http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_...et#Composition

And to put some icing on the cake, Saudi Arabia just "lent" the Baharani's 15 tanks:
