Defending a fellow dictator

Y. sent me this: "As'ad, there is a lot of talk from some figureheads I met about a possible 'intervention' in the Bahrain protests from Saudi Arabia and Kuwait to subject the protesters. Also a number of students who travel from Kuwait across Saudi Arabia to reach their universities in Bahrain told me that they were sent back near the borders of Saudi Arabia and Bahrain, sealing off the King Fahd Causeway."
