>It'll be really sad if the Internet becomes just another weapon of war.

Anything of value can be turned into a weapon of war. Think about what a weapon is - it is a tool to disrupt something delicate. A missile destroys a plane. A knife stops a heart. A virus stops a computer.

It really concerns me that a private US citizen was personally attacked by a sovereign nation. It seems to me that the US has an important duty to protect it's people, whether the attack is virtual or physical.
