> It seems to me that we have officially entered the era of a weaponized internet. Couldn't agree more. And GFW is indeed a WMD that must be stopped.

  ... I can't tell if this is sarcasm or serious. But seriously... What "Mass destruction" can the GFW cause? ... Like Amazon/Azure/Rackspace are WMDs under your current definition?

    Mass destruction of freedom of access to Western academic research, journalism and social ties.

    I think the attack has proven that the government via the GFW can take down any web service they choose. There's not much infrastructure out there than can repel firepower of that magnitude. Maybe not "destruction" in the permanent sense, but given the damage that a DDOS can do (financially, at least), it would make sense to treat one as an attack on infrastructure.
