Internet Meltdown Predicted for Tomorrow
Kobalt writes "A few news services are reporting that Russian computer expert, Aleksandr Gostev from Kaspersky Labs, has predicted that a large chunk of the Internet will be shut down tomorrow by cyber terrorists."
A *RUSSIAN* scientist spreading homeland security propaganda for an *AMERICAN* political party. You really put a lot of thought into that assertion, didn't you?
Oh, so it's valid now to call George W. Bush a "King?"
It's called "irony" moron, look it up.
Or to say he invoks September 11th at every opportunity?
Yes, because he does. He likes to paint himself as a "war prezzident" who can prevent the next major terrorist attack which will never come.
In reality, the man is smacked up to the tits on a cocktail of drugs and is exremely paranoid and incapable of handling a major disaster.
Or to justify a rich, fanatic like Usama bin Laden's use of commerical jet-liners as a weapon?
I don't justify it, and think it was wrong to kill all those people, as I thought it was wrong to kill all those people in Iraq and Afghanistan. However, I just think that the US shouldn't be getting uppity just because it got its own back, and shouldn't overreact to things like that. Bush speaks of standing up to the terrorists, but if he did that then life would have continued as normal and we wouldn't be suffering all the Orwellian bullshit like USA PATRIOT, delivering a solid "fuck you, we aren't scared" to the terrorists. Maybe the US could reevaluate its position in the world, and maybe not be so cutthroat about its economic interests, oil and the Middle East (and I know all three are intertwined).

You're a fuckin' idiot.
Bush is an elected representative of the people of the United States of America. Usama bin Laden is a wealthy fanatic who, as the son of Saudi construction works (Bin Laden Brothers), felt that he was being repressed by past American governments. Whether or not this is the case, he is a murderer who destroyed the lives of innocent people on 9/11/01. You can spin it however you like -- US being hated around the world, playing by the rules, America wading in killing everyone -- that's all goddamn bullshit.
Start recognizing that there is a culture of hate due to ignorance and miseducation. Modern Arabs have been treated poorly by their OWN rulers, not ours.
People like you are the ones who blame Israel and the U.S. for the plight of the Palestinians, not their Arab brothers and Yasser Arafat.
Go read a fucking book, you twit.
I'm not popular enough to be different.

They put the word "subnational" in there so that the US and Israel won't fit the definition.
... "usually intended to influence an audience." You just can't do it if you are not a nation.
Although interestingly the CIA and Mossad (and maybe even the IDF) might because they are "clandestine agents".
It's perfectly OK for nations to commit acts that are "premeditated, politically motivated violence perpetrated against noncombatant targets "
