German Ambassador Supports Bahrain

Internationally renowned singer-songwriter, John Mayer eloquently sings, "And when you trust your television, what you get it what you got.  Cause when they own the information they can bend it all they want."  

Certainly this has happened in the case of the Kingdom of Bahrain and the protests of the people and the retaliations of the defenders.  It is certainly a tragedy that the whole story has not been shared, but has been spun in a way that creates animosity and contempt for the peaceful country of Bahrain.

However, another supporter of the King and the country has come forward, praising Bahraini people and their efforts for peace.  German Ambassador, Sabine Taufmann, while meeting with Interior Minister Lieutenant-General Shaikh Rashid bin Abdulla Al Khalifa, showered Bahrain with praise for the successful execution of the F1 Grand Prix, specifically the security efforts, and the civil way that the situation was addressed.  Taufmann said that the success was also a reflection on how Bahrain has handled recent protests, and was very appreciated worldwide.

Ambassador Taufmann also condemned the world media for the poor job they have done in disseminating the truth in regards to the protests in Bahrain.  She rebuked the attacks on the policemen and other defenders of the country.  

Though the international media hasn't gotten it right yet, the world leaders are beginning to take action in favor of the support Bahrain needs.  Those outlets that "bend it all they want" should be held accountable, and the world leaders are where that call of accountability needs to begin.
