Stuxnet Allegedly Loaded By Iranian Double Agents
First time accepted submitter rainbo writes "According to a report from ISSSource, a saboteur who was likely a member of an Iranian dissident group loaded the Stuxnet virus on to a flash drive and infected machines at the Natanz nuclear facility. Iran's intelligence minister, Heydar Moslehi, said that an unspecified amount of 'nuclear spies' were arrested on ties to this attack. Some officials believe these spies belonged to Mujahedeen-e-Khalq (MEK), which is used as the assassination arm of the Israeli Mossad."
Arab shill group accuses Mossad of being involved in something they don't like.

And what's the problem with that? Do I need to remind you what country is the only one by far to ever used nuclear weapons, and against civilian targets no less?
Oh fuck you. the Japanese killed 6 million people. They were losing the war for 2 years when we fought in Okinawa, an island 20x20mi, and it cost 85,000 US soldiers. Japanese soldiers weren't even allowed to turn and run when out numbered -- they fought, or they committed suicide. They weren't going to surrender -- it was against their culture to surrender. They were there serving the emperor... who they believe was divine, was descended from the gods, and was able to communicate with them. To surrender would have meant defying their culture, leader (in the military and the emperor), and their version of Jesus (for all intents and purposes).
And those people that died in the nuclear bomb? 1/4th were soldiers. and the civilians were working in factories manufacturing weapons.
So once again... fuck you. 6 million people. The Japanese were not victims. They deserved every bit of how it ended because of what they started. If there is such a thing as evil, the Japanese and their Nazi allies, were the closest example of it that we've seen in centuries.
Israel was hardly innocent in that conflict. Israel invaded southern Lebanon in response to the PLA having invaded there and used it as a base of operations to attack from. Israel then proceeded to occupy southern Lebanon for the next TWO DECADES, which also happened to have triggered the five-way civil war that pretty much tore apart the country, and continues to occupy a small strip of Lebanese land. Israel was also partially responsible for the notorious Sabra and Shtailla massacres during their occupation. Hezbollah was a Shii'ite (read, NOT Palestinian) militia formed during those years to combat the Israeli occupation. Wanting foreign invaders out of your country, or helping another people expel their occupies hardly requires religious fanaticism by any stretch of the imagination.
While Hezbollah has been accused of terrorism, for the most part they engage in military vs military combat, either as a conventional army or guerilla tactics, such as during the 2006 war, and they haven't been involved in suicide bombings since Israel left Lebanon. Some of their attacks, such as the rocket attacks during the 2006 war have hurt civilians, but their enemies are hardly innocent of that either and use tactics that, if done by non-countries, would be called terrorism. See the large amount of civilian damage in the bombings of Beirut, or assassinations of civilian Hezbollah politicians and leaders. Point being that the Lebanese were not the (initial) aggressors in the decades-long Israeli-Lebanese conflict.
