Of course there were pronouncements:

“I am deeply concerned about reports of violence in Bahrain, Libya and Yemen. The United States condemns the use of violence by governments against peaceful protesters in those countries and wherever else it may occur,” Obama said.

“The United States urges the governments of Bahrain, Libya and Yemen to show restraint in responding to peaceful protests and to respect the rights of their people.”

And with the pronouncement, there was a slap in the face for a major US strategic ally, faced with Shiite protests that may be funded and organized in Iran.

Gosh, what a surprise.
