"Mr President, recall the spring of 1848 when Europe’s democratic movements were roused from the ruins. They had a successful spring, but were plagued by internal divisions and therefore the oppressors and the kings were able to return by the end of the year. We must not allow the Arab Spring to meet the same fate. Instead we must defend the people in these countries. People are being imprisoned and subjected to torture, military trials are being conducted and doctors are being prevented from performing treatment, and here we are also talking about doctors who have sworn a two-thousand-year-old oath to treat everybody.
Thousands of Saudi soldiers are invading Bahrain and helping to maintain the oppression. This is another brutal, oppressive regime. We must stop all military exports and we must place requirements on those European undertakings that are exploiting the situation in countries subject to oppression in order to make money. We must also abandon our oil dependency, because that is what gives these dictators control over the oil revenue and maintains their control over these countries. We must finally put a stop to European undertakings exploiting this situation for their own profit."@en1
