I read an interesting OTA report from the late 70's that concluded that some 'bad guys' would only need to blow up a couple of our oil refineries to throw the US into a (temporary) state of anarchy.
Simply by removing our ability to transport goods and services, people would quickly be denied even basic needs like food, and would thus riot/do whatever they needed to in order to eat.
