The US most definitively does not want cyber warfare, which is why a bunch of military types have been going around for years warning about the possibility and the need to harden systems against it. Cyber warfare is bad news for the US because it's one of the areas of warfare in which the US doesn't have an obvious dominance.

- planetguy 14y agoSure, just because you don't want a type of warfare doesn't mean you're not going to engage in it. This happens to be the kind of warfare which doesn't "escalate" as such -- certain countries will continue to attack US systems at exactly the same rate regardless of whether the US is attacking 'em back.
