Do cyberwars really keep us from fighting?

As if there aren't enough things to fight about, there's now the Internet. For the past two years, at least, the United States and Iran have been waging war against each other in cyberspace. This against the worldwide background of state sponsored Internet attacks, stealing secrets and military cyber espionage.

First off, the US and Israel developed what is being called the world's first cyberweapon, Stuxnet, a clever computer worm that is thought to have been injected into the computers of Iran's nuclear enrichment facilities causing the centrifuge machines refining uranium - for bombs/peaceful use, take your pick - to break down.

And there's a lot more to come. The New York Times detailed in the summer how US President Barack Obama agreed to continue with Operation Olympic Games, a project that gave birth to Stuxnet and its family of smart Internet bombs, Duqu, Flame and Gauss.
