American Imperialism?

Reports are that up to 4 undersea telecommunications cables in the Middle East have been cut. Countries from Egypt to India have suffered major losses of communications, with Iran being completely cut off from the outside world. Interestingly enough, Israel and Iraq have been left unaffected by the outages. For the most part there has been no explanation as to how the cables were cut.

I don't know about you but I smell a conspiracy of global proportions here. This completely looks and feels like a giant Super Bowl blackout. I mean, why waste all those good Budweiser ads and hot cheerleaders on a region that doesn't appreciate our Western values. I say let them eat cake.

My guess is...don't mess with Israel! Any country that has ever attempted to crush or threaten Israel, went down in flames themselfs, or became a glass parking lot. Israel has the best special opts and intel in the world.
