Bahrain last night pledged to help rebuild Libya and described the dramatic developments there as historic.
His Majesty King Hamad paid tribute to the Libyan people as he discussed with world leaders ways of mobilising the massive reconstruction efforts at a prestigious conference at the Élysée Palace, Paris.
It would be truly historic if His Majesty, the King of Bahrain, would stop hypocritically praising democracy for Libya, while pro-democracy people are tortured or shot dead in His Majesty’s own country.

Dear Kitty. Some blog 
The BBC, a mouthpiece for British power, has been flooding us with scenes from Tripoli, trying to make comparisons with the events in Egypt. But apart from the apparent toppling of its leader, there are few similarities. Cairo’s Tahrir Square was an image of heroic people power. Libya is mostly a result of Nato air power.
The Egyptian people overthrew their leader with no outside help. Libya was an excuse for Nato to gatecrash the Arab Spring, to try to influence how their neighbours in Egypt and Tunisia turn out.
Nato illegally went beyond its mandate, picked sides and decided on regime change. It has now armed the whole country, and the anti‑Gaddafi fighters are very divided.
The Transitional National Council (TNC) is just a fraction of the opposition, but now look to be getting most or all of the leadership.
Far from the West now stepping back, it has clambered to support the TNC, and to ensure oil contracts are won. Permanent Western military bases will now appear.
So the so-called humanitarian intervention did have strings attached.
