Hundreds of Bahraini security forces have launched a brutal attack on anti-government demonstrators in the capital Manama, taking over Manama's symbolic Pearl Square.The situation has deteriorated in Bahrain since Saudi forces invaded the Persian Gulf sheikhdom to help King Hamad bin Issa Al Khalifa quell the popular uprising there.On Tuesday, tens of thousands of Bahrainis marched on the Saudi embassy in Manama to protest what they described as the Saudi invasion and occupation of their country.Press TV interviewed Professor Paul Sheldon Foote of California State University regarding the role of Saudi Arabia in Bahrain's crackdown on democracy protesters and why the US has declined to term the troops' move into Bahrain as invasion.
