I am just curious what everyone's thoughts are on the US Military's offensive cyber warfare programs are?

The problem as I see it is that this blend of cyber/infrastructure/psychological warfare is really only most effective against first world nations. Seriously now, is Afghanistan really going to care if we bankrupt their currency and kill the national power and telecommunications systems? Of course not... what currency? What systems?

This program is directed (actively mind you) at the EU, Canada, Australia, Japan, China, (not Israel of course, heh) etc.

Do you think this will start a new arms race or are we in one already?

cheers,
