What's this called? (hint: fear mongering?)
Why was the Iranian military mentioned in the article? Are Iranians the only ones out there that can possibly hurt the US? No, anyone can buy that stuff and damage other countries. The US isn't the only country on this planet.
Please, for the sake of the future, stop acting like everyone is out to get you.
Actually, that's not all. What really turns me off is the direction the US took after 9-11. Loss of freedom at the excuse of fighting terrorism and americans unable to feel this trend. I'm really glad we were a communist country for a while, because it's a lot easier for us as a people to sense when something that would potentially affect our freedom is about to happen. I can't say the same for americans.
It's sadening to see that the country I used to dream about moving to when I was a kid is slowly turning into something I don't even want to visit any more. I'm from an average city in Romania, and yet I get 10 MB/s up and down when torrenting - all for the amazing price of 19 US Dollars + VAT. I bet I'd be getting even better speeds if I weren't limitted by the 100 mbit LAN cable that goes into my router. And here I see one of your bigger ISP's offering you 50 mbps up and 6 mbps down, all for just 150 US Dollars...
