While Mohammed El-Baradei spends the next few months shining his Nobel Peace Prize and the EU runs in circles chasing their own poodle tails, Iran is hard at work building the second Islamic nuclear weapon.
Israel is preparing...
Israel test-fired its anti-ballistic Arrow 2 missile Friday, successfully hitting an incoming target rocket, the defense ministry said.The Arrow missile was launched from an air force base in the center of the country and struck a Black Sparrow target missile launched from a plane flying over the Mediterranean. The target missile is similar in capabilities to the Iranian Shihab 3, which Iran hopes to arm with a nuclear warhead.
The launch was the fourteenth such test of the Arrow missile system. In the last test, conducted in the summer of 2004, the arrow missed its target.
Israel Radio pointed out that the Arrow project's price tag so far has surpassed $2.4 billion, two-thirds paid for by the American government.
Should Iran launch a nuclear weapon at Israel and the Arrow stops it, Mohammed El Baradei and Kofi Annan should be tried for crimes against humanity and then jailed in a cell along with the radiactive debris collected up over Jordan and Syria.
Let them waste and rot in terminal sickness with the vile byproduct of their incompetence.

I guess this proves the point that if you want to make a great American Invention better, let the Israelies tinker with it.
Now that Israel is going to be home to a new Intel Chip Fab will the Jihadis pronounce a fatwa against their laptop computers filled with internet porn and plans for global destruction because it was made by Zionist JOOOOOOOOS?

Just as there are wild rumors about biological weapons that attack only Arab DNS, maybe there will be wild rumors about mathematical weapons that attack and disrupt calculations or functions that are inherently Islamic in nature.
I wonder if such a thing is possible, a virus or worm that doesn't just attack "Islamic" IP-mounted systems, but one that goes after Arabic-language operations, messes with calculations specific to Arabic or Islamic societies, etc.

I'm sure it's possible. You'd just have to code in a few lines that look for Arabic characters into the virus or worm. After all, that's what they already do--check to see what you've got, rename files on your hard drive, things like that.
When I was at Chubb, the instructors were VERY careful to keep us away from any kind of coding that could lead to creating a virus.
I don't have the programmings chops for it. But I'll bet lots of people do.

Arab DNS?
Yeah, I've got internet on the brain.
