Bahraini anti-government protesters react Monday, March 14, 2011, at Pearl roundabout in Manama, Bahrain, when Shiite opposition leader Sheik Habib al-Muqdad (unseen) advised them Saudi forces were believed to be coming to the roundabout and that there were buses waiting to take them home. The women, many with masks ready for tear gas, refused to go. A Saudi-led military force crossed into Bahrain to prop up the monarchy against widening demonstrations that have sent waves of fear through Gulf states over the potential for enemy Iran to take a new foothold on their doorsteps. The barrier in the foreground reads: "Down with Hamad." (AP Photo/Hasan Jamali) (AP)
