I'm not sure it requires a security threat to being down vast areas of 
the Internet, and for vast periods of time.  If either coast was hit with 
a tsunami, or huge quake, or even a large storm like that which 
devastated New Orleans <which still has not recovered how many years 
after?>, the affects of which will be technically devastating as well.


Main question is, if the Internet is devastated, to a point it can be 
'rebuilt' would the mistakes of the past be redone in the new?

Thanks,
