In return for supplying security they get access to cheep oil and inward investments while belonging to a sort of Monarchs Club. Sort of the same criteria that was used to invite them to the Royal Wedding here in April.
The brutal Al Khalifa regime will be able to survive with perhaps the once all powerful prime minister there being sacrificed.Shameful really.
In Yemen a natural GCC partner Ali Saleh is still running circles around efforts to get him to resign. The longer he stays the worse off the region will be. Now if he had only made himself a King they might have asked him to stay.

It won't be much longer now as the pillars of Assad's power begin to show signs of weakness.
In Libya the struggle continues against Mad Mo 's regime.
