If your car was surrounded by a mob trying to break your car windows and kill you and your wife, you'd probably step on the gas, too. This isn't the first symptom we've seen of Anti-American hatred in Bahrain.
You bet I would. But there are a few things I don't quite understand about this. For example, if their car was surrounded by a mob, and they hit the gas and hit a 26-year old woman, that would mean she was in the mob. However, these 'mobs' (usually engineered by local vendors to apply pressure on someone so they can get their $$) are almost always all-male. And then, of course, there's the discrepancy over the number of soldiers. And if there is a history of anti-Americanism in Bahrain (which there is), there is also a history of American GI's being pretty aggressive in foreign countries. The facts of this, I hope, will come out soon.
Without a doubt, only after that, the crowd would see my reverse lights a couple times..
