This, to me, catches my attention as to something that can and will affect many other nations. No matter how far apart, nations are connected by oil. Whether it is who they get it from, who supplies who, or where the higher demands are, when there is a demand for fuel, I think it can have a domino affect. In Egypt it is causing many problems other than fueling their cars and trucks. It leads to violence and a shortage of food because farmers do not have the fuel to run their farms properly. We take for granted how easily we as citizens access oil, and do not realize what would happen if all of a sudden we couldn't get it.
