Let me explain, I think we are arguing very different things. I am making a technical distinction about writing code, in that once you turn a tool of art into something less discriminate like a worm, or hide malicious and obfuscated code one crosses the line to doing active harm against your mission, whatever that is. I am not making any geopolitical statement or position on the outcome or actions beyond that which I consider a technical foul play to hurt others with software, malicious software, malicious intent. There are surely more elegant tools to wield.

Stuxnet is malware, sure. But what about the software Iranians were using to develop nuclear weapons? Surely that must be even worse?
