So let's say a cyber-attack originates from Chinese script kiddie. Albania, Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Turkey, the United Kingdom, and the United States will all respond by invading China? Is NATO trying to start a war here? There's no mention in the article about any kind of electronic response to the attack.
Of course, their reasoning seems to be that theres no possible way an attack could be from Russia, but using a open proxy, relay, etc in China. Its not like an IP is guaranteed to be directly controlled by someone in that country.
So, we end up invading China, and while all of our troops are there, Russia comes in and takes over the US or the EU without much effort.
Note i'm just using Russia and China in examples here, no specific reason that it could only be them.
If I didn't know any better, I'd say they let Bush write their policies. -- Brielle Bruns The Summit Open Source Development Group http://www.sosdg.org / http://www.ahbl.org
