Stuxnet Worm Crafted by U.S., Israel to Thwart Iran's Nuclear Program

[ylcard]

Let's rewind to the beginning and ask some questions:

1) Your neighbour - who has declared his intention to wipe you off the map - is building a nuclear weapons capability. Is it sensible to wait to find out if he is going to carry out his threat?

2) Instead of launching a military strike, you deploy software to hinder his industrial capacity to destroy you. Is this a more civilised response than attacking him with conventional or nuclear weaponry?

1. Iran didn't threaten to wipe Israel off the map. Nope, it's not very sensible to wait for them to carry out their non-existent threat.

2. Is it proof that Israel is responsible ? No.

Like Jerid said, Israel are the suspects, but that's not what I'm arguing about. Good luck proving anything, just read the articles about it, if those articles don't have actual proof of anything, you have zero chance of finding it, so don't bother ;)

I seem to recall most western news outlets literally not printing even one story about the Palestinian papers leak.

I'm not sure what you're talking about, what leaks ?

"1. Iran didn't threaten to wipe Israel off the map."

Ahmadinejad's meaning was perfectly clear: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahmoud_Ahmadinejad_and_Israel

He is also on record as a Holocaust denier, and has hosted Holocaust denial conferences in Iran.

Iran's proxy, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, has recently called for the extermination of Jews:

These are good reasons for not taking the risk that Iran is only kidding.
