#5 They couldn't do more than small time hacking that would quickly be contained.

However, terrorist attacks would be more their speed and gain more traction. Especially if they happened in Western Europe.

Solomon, you have a bug in your program! It should be:

10 print "Death to America!"

Now since I've been so nice to you, could you please kill me last?

#8 Just a wild thought, but suppose the Stuxnet virus was merely a warning, meant to be discovered. Someone could be sending a subtle message that ALL of Iran's computing power is corrupted with an even more devastating worm capable of far greater damage unless Iran backs off its enrichment process. After all, Short Round is suddenly willing to "accept" foreign nuclear fuel, and allowing the "used" fuel to be reprocessed elsewhere. They were strongly against this before.
