I don't want to make a big deal out of this, due to my lack of understanding on what a data center is, but it seems very important to most western countries.

How long if ever would it take to find out if it was an accidental power surge or an enemy induced power surge? You can't very well go to war with a suspicious third world country when in reality it was a smarter well informed agent of evil wanting to get even for who knows what?
