Is it worthwhile to bother given the low rate and relatively low proficiency of attacks so far? They're trying to make a statement, sure, and doing some vandalism in the process. But it doesn't appear from any firsthand reports I have or news reports I've seen so far that any serious damage has been done anywhere. Dropping a country due to annoyance is a pretty serious step. If their ministry were directly encouraging all out serious attacks that would be a different thing, but I don't see any justification to do anything yet. Feel free to correct above impression of damage if you have better info than I do so far. -george william herbert gherbert@retro.com
