First things first:

for decades.Now that they are actually in a war in that region,for sure
there will be many shows of power to try and keep anyone else from
wanting to jump in,or endanger there troops.
2:Iran is back to being a viable military threat.So,it goes to reason
there will be much posturing by the US military to alleviate the threat
imposed by another nation becoming involved in the quagmire
there(meaning Iraq) now.
3:It doesn't help matters with the seizure of a UK boat and crew.Behind
the scenes,I hope things are being handled appropriately.
4:$:If some foolish group takes it upon themselves to shove a new
war,against a new `enemy' in the region at this time,they should be
hanged!I believe that is what makes the difference between a General and
     your average(no disrespect intended!)soldier!

Now if you think this is a good idea,then you must be STUPID!!!

What I'm wondering is how the Iranians will be able to tell the difference. If you're connected to the Internet, you're being attacked 24/7. How can you tell that this "new" attack is from a red-blooded hacker group trying to defeat Iran? (As opposed to your average bot-building phisher hacking into boxes constantly.)
