Oil is the world's most traded commodity, and as a major source of energy, and a raw material for a whole array of products ranging from plastics to drugs, oil is the most important lubricant for the economies of the developed nations. A halt, or even a minor disruption, in the flow of crude oil to the U.S., Western Europe and Japan, results in major economic convulsions...

The most serious one is the Thai military, which has sufficient strength for a countercoup if its officers become disenchanted with Sanya's civilian rule. For the moment, however, the military seemed content to side with the King and give civilian rule a chance...
