...concepts that have regulated war forever, such as deterrence and attribution, are slippery or missing in cyberspace. National boundaries don't exist, making moot the question of sovereignty.

Turkey is even offering to broker regional peace talks involving the Taliban and Afghanistan's neighbors. (See pictures of the presidential election in Afghanistan...
Pizer says groups like hers had argued against testing these issues now in federal court, but have since helped with trial preparation. "We very much hope that Ted [Olson] is right that he has the votes to prevail against Prop 8, whether or not new constitutional ground is broken and regardless of which appellate court has the final word in the [San Francisco] case. And we've been doing everything we can to help the trial team prepare, as we're all passionately committed to victory both in this case and in the longer-term, national struggle...
