US protects democracy

""That is not to say that the missile shield as such can be used as a tool against a possible revolution. But having invested so much in the military infrastructure of the "model democracies of the Gulf", the US will not let all the "toil and spoil" to be lost too easily. And that means that at the first hint of an anti-government uprising, the US will be the first to react – and in a totally different way from how it reacts to processes in Libya or Syria.""
