Cyberwar playbook says Stuxnet may have been 'armed attack'

Economic sanctions and the ban from the Swift clearing system are also an act of war, as they are a blockade. Nothing will stop them, even if Iran gets the bomb - look at how they stepped up the aggression against North Korea.

who the hell cares?

not me.

Tell me when a bunch of goth hackers, an ex-general, ninja girl and burnout hacker cause a riot outside the Time Warner building in NY.

Llap Goch

I'm sure Monty Python did a better version of these kinds of rules back in the 70s.

As if the UN is relevant

The UN is more irrelevant than ever, hamstrung by voting blocks of conflicting ideologies working at cross purposes. The most you can hope for from these guys is another report about something wrong somewhere. Most recently, it was the French who had to intervene in Mali on behalf of the UN because it would have been months before any of the African states tagged by the UN to do the job could get their act together.

On the contrary

Preventing nuclear war saved hundreds of thousands of lives.

RE: Eff them all and let God sort it out

--> Let me see, how do you get the attention of a whole religion/culture whose leaders clearly call for the deaths of all Infidels (that's you and me BTW) ??? Tickle them with feathers until they give up???

You mean theint spiritual leader who succeeded the ayotollah - put in by the the west ? or Sadam whos uncle was put in by the West ?

Just look at the history of the middle east - in the 1950's 60s they had been changing to the western way of living, due to oil the West got itself mixed in with the middleast and so the wars were started - their result/outcome/sanctions all based on how much free oil they could give to the west to be armed to to survive accordingly.

so please don't sit there like some inncocent western world member and blame the mess in the middle east on some religious nutters, since its the west who pushed these nutters in to place to squeeze the oil whilst it lasts

RE: Eff them all and let God sort it out

The last comment was by me and I just wanted to clarify something since I am not trying to justify any form of killing.

Not for one second do I or could I accept the immoral act of killing or deaths to any side.

I was just trying to point out rather than see things in the black and white way that things are sold to us we should all try to understand history and current reasons better.

We all know there is a lot of wrong on this earth and to kill off one another for the sake of its natural resources or from the other angle some religious conception that one human is less than another because they do not live their life in the same way!

One thing for sure is the turbalence, natural resources running low critically during a potential power change of empires.

We should learn to live along one another we humans are what we are, if there are middle easterns that live in the west and feel they live amongst infidenls than frankly they should move back to an islamic country where they are more at home with what they see is right in their life.
