This kind of behaviour is one good reason why more and more people are simply implementing IP blocks on Russia as a country. So much in the way of spam and hack attacks come from there, it is often the simplest solution.

If Russia does not want to end up disconnected, they should pay a bit of attention to the kind of scams their countrymen are up to ... or - sooner or later, they will find themselves blocked by most of the world.

Or maybe that is Russia's game? After all, if Russian citizens can't access Western web sites anymore, they will simply have no choice but to read whatever Putin has to say on the national news networks.

3 whole weeks until the US empire crumbles? I think you are overestimating their "smart military thinking" by a factor of 10 or so.

James, since the US president is the elected representative of the American people, he is for all purposes representative "of the rest of us". 

Sure, not everyone agrees with him (fortunately), but he is representative and responsible of the political path the US takes abroad. 

Also, by making a joke at the US "empire" the author is attacking US external politics, not specific citizens that may desagree with Bush, and so his joke is legitimate.

My two cents.

It must be time to extend the lifespan of the US by distributing some Brute Force and by having the White House finally uncollar the Smart Military Thinking.

Time to go neuter 100k Radical Islamists.

Tiscali actually reacted to network naughtiness?

Whatever next... I tried to host a home mailserver on my Tiscali supplied broadband connection once... I gave up after 50% of the destination servers I tried to email rejected the connection as the Tiscali IP range seems to be on almost every spam blocklist under the sun!

Can you not post a single article without picking on us former-colonists over here? I mean yeah, Bush screwed the pooch for us all, but he's not representative of the rest of us.
