Bahrain: Al Jazeera says that the Shiites only want the same rights as the Sunni,?

I don't know that anyone can really answer for millions of Sunnis & Shiites, certainly not Al Jazeera, nor the US government. It appears to be the old "Haves vs Have nots situation). Sunnis tend to have power, money and education. Shites tend to be poor, uneducated. The irony is that the Shiites depend on the Sunni to provide what they need, but despise them for having more. The Sunni enjoy the power and money, so they throw tidbits to the Shiites whenever they have unrest. As we saw in Iraq & Iran, when the balance is shifted, it's not much better. Iran, despite it's oil, cannot provide for the poor or satisfy the public opinions without force. Iraq cannot rule with three ethnic groups because of mive corruption and religious/ethnic hatred. Everyone wants to be in charge, but few know how to rule!
