NO WAY is this a coincidence.
The two countries most affected are Egypt (who didn't shoot the Palestinians escaping from their Gaza prison) and Iran which is in the Neo-cons' cross-hairs.
Hope it isn't a prelude to a military action in the area. Or it might be an attempt to electronically isolate Egypt or Iran from the rest of the world (the US did say they wanted to step up their warfare on the internet). Either way, a strong reaction might be expected since vital interests would be threatened by attempts to isolate any country from the world by cutting off their whole population from the global internet and international telephone system.
Could this be regarded as collective punishment of the Egyptian and Iranian people, which is a WAR CRIME ?
Could it be a shot across the bows of all countries round the world : If you don't follow what you are told, you could be easily cut-off from the world ?
What I find strange is that none of the main stream sites even countenance the possibility that the cuts are deliberate (irrespective of who that might be).
Their silence on the possibility of the cuts being deliberate is deafening. All we hear is that it was likely to be accidentally caused by anchors.

The biggest problem the Bush administration faced during Iraq were images coming over the internet that showed the horrors being visited on the Iraqi people, and exposed the government's lies about Saddam.
I am greatly concerned that these undersea cable cuttings are intended to prevent the world from seeing something that is about to happen, other than through the government-controlled propaganda/media.
As of this posting, Tehran is totally cut off from the rest of the internet.

Lets hope it doesn`t happen.
