Our view: Mideast oil shock threatens U.S., again

 As I was searching for articles and editorials I encountered this editorial "Our view: Mideast oil shock threatens U.S., again" at USA TODAY. I was not able to find who the author, but the editorial was very interesting. For years I've been asking the same question on how come the U.S. keeps trying to solve issues overseas when we are just kind of recovering from a very strong economy crisis. This article is a reply to another article "Opposing View: More Drilling Won't Help" . The author has a very good point. The uprising in the middle eastern countries has made big impacts in the prices on for oil. The author says that it has happened before so it's not something new. Every time there is crisis in middle east countries, the world and specially the U.S. has to pay the consequences economically for it. The author also has a good argument on how instead of trying to help stir things up overseas the U.S should invest more money on oil searches around the country.

I believe this article was mainly written for every single citizen in the U.S who has to suffer the consequences of high gas prices. He/she has a point that this behavior has been seen in the past as well and has shown how much crisis overseas impacts the U.S. economy.

I completely agree with the author in someway. He/she says that the U.S. does not have enough oil and I have to disagree. From what I've read, it is to believed that the U.S. has a lot of oil the only problem is that they are not willing to drill in their own land, which has made the U.S. be in the hands of the Middle East when it comes to oil resources.

Barak Obama Urges Hosni Mubarak's Departure, Calls Egyptian Protestors 'Inspiration'

  As I was going through almost every newspaper online, I kept seeing the story of how the U.S. helped Egypt to  make such a big step and finally have Democracy. In the ABC News they said how  President Obama basically ordered the president of Egypt to get out.

In interviews, Obama called this transition inspiring for the people around the world. It showed how the Commander in Chief of the most powerful military can help a country make such a big transition in such a peaceful way.  Egypt now becomes one of the most powerful allies of the United States. This change basically means the United States will have to be more involved in Egypt's transition to Democracy.

 This uprising from Egypt's citizens is kind of alarming to the United States, due to the fact that it might stir things up in the Middle East and create more uprisings. Which will mean more involvement of the U.S. Military and government.

I will continue to follow up with this story and will post updates!
