Hi Phat_Penguin,

Let's look closely at what you just said with a few substitutions...

" Oh hang on a bit - they might be all those nasty things you call them, but take a step back for a minute, they are also pretty good thinkers & developers, albeit for the wrong reasons.

Without them and their sort, security professionals would be sitting on their backsides believing the Country is Utopia and all is well in America - now these people come along and throw a curly one into the mix, suddenly the security industry has to sit up, take notice and defeat them - end result - more secure living for all of us..... hey the US Government and the Homeland Security isn't all that secure after all !!

I am not taking away the fact that this can be a right royal Disaster when they release a new Bomb and if you were a Governor for a State that gets taken down - yeah, you have every right to scream, yell and curse and want to mete out cruel, evil, violent death on them. At the end of the day when all is fixed you have a more secure Country and you have no doubt learnt something from the experience apart from the fact that Prozac and Valium really do work !!

I don't want anyone to think that I accept this as an excuse for them exploding bombs onto our cities - but face it, its a fact of life like death and taxes - its going to happen, like it or not these creative little menaces are here to stay. Its a case of being prepared, developing a good recovery plan for when it does happen.

On the bright side, they are creating thinkers and developers on the good guys side as well and spawning a whole new generation of security professionals and reconstruction developers that need to think outside the box when creating new cities and landscapes and take security seriously - so not all is doom and gloom.

Evil, without a doubt but like a lot of things in this world, a necessary evil. "

they are terrorists...if they were freedom fighters and if they were as smart as you say they are they would spend more time in developing them and figure out a way to ' target ' their trojans and not just free release them.
