"Another 9/11 is unlikely.
They're creative though.
If we've thought about it then they probably have too.
It's the stuff we haven't thought about yet that's the problem. Have they?"

Your pushing a "cybersecurity" agenda but you haven't come up with a single plausible life or death attack scenario. Mostly its just playing on peoples ignorance of Networks = Internet.

You (USA) don't have money to do everything, in fact you don't have enough money even to buy flak jackets and armor for the troops you have in Iraq.

They can and are dying, 1000+ so far and an uncounted number of contractors.

So should they spend money on your Internet firewall/virus detection/ widget projects, or on guards for key installations, flak jackets for troops etc.

It's a difficult choice, but nowhere nears as difficult as the choice this man made:

He had to choose between jumping to his death or burning to death. I don't think he cared too much about whether the Internet was a little slow that day.
