BBC on Bahrain

"Wonderful bit of balanced reporting from the BBC’s Frank Gardner. He said of Bahrain at 5.42pm on BBC News:
“The Shiite majority does suffer discrimination, but the rest of the population is getting fed up with the continual disruption and demonstrations.”
I remember similar arguments during apartheid:
“The black majority does suffer discrimination, but the rest of the population is getting fed up with the continual disruption and demonstrations.”" (thanks Michael)
