Not at all surprising to me really. When you think about it they were doing similar attacks against the USSR during the cold war. Though the internet did not exist at that time it is still none-the-less the same thing; using information against the enemy without using physical force. I can see this as a sort of new cold war. But that's only if it stays confined to the boundaries of information.

Yeah, and I don't doubt for a second that the Chinese government hacks into foreign credit card accounts.

And how did no one get the zero wings reference?

That's all a bunch of baloney as far as I'm concerned. All that cyber-warfare, scientist-murdering, sanctions / Israeli airstrike threatening only encourages Iran to put more efforts into developing nuclear weaponry.

Me? I think the West should stop thinking about Iran's nuclear program as the big issue and start thinking about Iran's regime as the problem. Iran's goals of becoming a nuclear superpower ain't gonna fade away after a successful airstrike. Neither is Iran gonna become any less of an intolerant theocratic state. Wanna see changes? Gotta do it the hard way.
Unfortunately, this is NOT something world leaders like to admit, especially after Iraq and Afghanistan.
