Whats going on in the world?

I think that it is going to take a long time for Egypt’s economy to stabilize. Right now the military has power over Egypt. Until the protests subside it is a good idea for the military to remain in power. Even though Mr. Mubarak stepped down on February 11, 2011 the protests still continue.

In addition, another huge thing that is going on in the world is the tsunami in Japan. It has resulted in fires in the four nuclear plants and is releasing so many chemicals into the air. The fallout zone of the air pollutant is in the Pacific Ocean and this happens to be where forty percent of the world gets their food from. I think that the media isn't doing a good enough job at informing the world on what is really going on there. To me it seems like a difficult situation for the world to deal with. Many countries have a lot of trouble offering aid to Japan because they are a wealthy and have not had a great reputation with the other countries. But I think that other countries need to start offering aid because this will affect the entire world, not only Japan.
