<DIV>I agree with Lee – I think there might be a lot we can do.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I think there is a strong argument for a declaration of an Internet war
free zone of sorts – I think of Swiss neutrality, non-proliferation treaties,
nuclear weapon free zones, etc. I think a compelling argument can be made that
cyberwarfare with its inability to localise damage can be seen to be something
we should not contemplate. We may not be able to stop it, but we may be able to
have it declared illegal or immoral. That would be a good first step.</DIV>

<DIV>Thanks Ian for precious links. It seems that time is coming for legal
definitions of cyberwarfare, in which we are living already. Initiatives belong
to the powers that be, the only ones with the capacity to follow or violate the
rules. CS doesn't have much influence, except through occasional media
power.<BR><BR>Some more frightening documents on real war:<BR><BR><A

may observe that oppressive regimes resort to coded sanitized language to mean
illegal and criminal activities. This was anticipated by Orwell (newspeak), and
turned real with soviet labor camp (concentration), nazism special treatment
