Two days off the island and all hell breaks loose!

  • We had the newly elected Jordanian parliament rejecting a law that gave women the right to divorce.
  • We had Qatar replacing the Crown Prince
  • We had 393 Palestinian prisoners freed which the Palestinians call a PR stunt
  • We have the US and Bahrain start free trade talks
  • We had the Arabs rejecting sending troops to Iraq and refuse to recognise the interim council
  • We have the Kuwait Finance House buying Dallah Al-Barakah’s share in the Durrat Al-Bahrain mega-resort project
  • We have a US$ 550 million horse racing and equestrian centre to be built in Bahrain by the Wiggins Group of the UK
  • and it doesn’t seem that anyone in Bahrain cares about their privacy as there have not been any responses to my articles here and in the local papers!

    And probably a lot more that I’ve missed out on a lot of others things… maybe I just should not travel!

      Warning on Free Trade with the US

      As a Canadian, I don’t believe that free trade means something. In Canada, free trade works only for the sectors of the Canadian economy controlled by the Americans. Otherwise, you get into so-called ‘trade disputes
