Bahrain or not to Bahrain

With tensions rising of whether the Bahrain Grand Prix will go ahead or not it seems a lot of people have mixed views on the situation however all agree on one thing: the safety of F1 personnel.
Naturally, as this is my blog i'm going to give my two pennies worth too.
Personally i have mixed feeling about the GP going ahead. If it does go ahead (and that is a big if) then it's going to go one of two ways; smoothly and safely or taking advantage of and made a target.
Obviously everyone can only hope if it does go ahead that it will be a safe weekend, this could be a good thing - showing the country it is moving on. However from recent news articles that doesn't seem to be the case and violence in Bahrain is still happening daily.
If the latter of my assumptions happens then it will have a serious impact on Formula 1. It's a sport, it doesn't need to go there, it would seem insensitive when obvious protests, that are turning violent, are taking place.
The Bahrain Grand Prix is the countries main sporting event that takes place, the Bahraini royal's pump a lot of money in to the sport to ensure they stay on the calendar, they even own a stake in McLaren but other than benefiting the King and his family, would it really benefit the Bahraini people?
Safety of the thousands of F1 personnel (and fans, if there are any) traveling over there for the weekend are also in question, will they be safe? What about the media? Journalists and photographers could easily be targeted. If you asked anyone who worked in or around Formula 1 if they are truly happy with going the GP then i think most of them would answer no... if you asked them behind closed doors that is, as Bernie Ecclestone, Team Principals, event organisers and such are all agreeing it's a go, go.
Here's a something to ponder over though: Teams are hell bent on making sure their drivers don't participate in dangerous activities that could pose a high risk of injury (meaning they may miss one or more grand prix's) so why would they be happy with taking them to a country that has been uprising for the last year, a place where there is a higher risk of unsettled behaviour targeting the sport?
While i'm on the subject and i've seen a lot of comments floating around like 'If F1 doesn't race in Bahrain than they shouldn't race in China' because of human rights, then let's face it we may as well not race anywhere. There is no immediate threat on safety grounds for the Chinese Grand Prix.
More than likely the Bahrain Grand Prix will be called off over the Chinese GP weekend, teams have made back-up travel arrangements to accomandate the change and the rest of the sporting calendar will continue.
