Protesters in Bahrain, encouraged by the success of the protests in Tunisia and Egypt, have taken to the streets and occupied Pearl square much like the Egyptians had occupied Tahrir square until Egypt's 30 year dictator president Mubarak was forced to resign. Arab governments are now resorting to much more aggressive and lethal tactics to stop the protesters because the fear of being toppled has increased significantly with the success of the revolution in Egypt, the most populous Arab country. Security forces in Bahrain opened fire on unarmed, peaceful, protesters and killed several. Criminal acts like these are meant to break the will of the people but they only end up strengthening their resolve.
