When I look at Egypt, I'll know something really important is happening when the powers start protecting the Suez Canal. Until then, this is a local story (relatively speaking, of course) with a global audience.

What's "the norm"? Political, social and economical situations are always constantly in a state of change and are sometimes a delicate balance that could snowball once disrupted. It may not have gotten to the point of western intervention or civil war yet but that doesn't mean its some blip on the radar.
Anyhow, feel free to place as much importance on the matter as you want to, no point in arguing about it. I'll continue to watch it with interest.
