I've Been Thinking:

Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al Maliki was extremely critical of the
West's attacks on Libya and on Ghadaffi.

Maliki said that the intervention against Ghadaffi was totally out of proportion and that there are other places that are far worse than Libya. Maliki was saying that the international forces selectively chose Libya, while ignoring other leaders who abused peaceful protesters.

The back story here is that Maliki is a Shiite.

Maliki was referring to Bahrain where the Shiites are being persecuted by the Sunnis and the Saudis are aiding the Bahraini royal family while all the while the protesters are being persecuted.

Politics, religion and personal agenda all merge into one in the
Middle East.
