...Tit for tat, right? Wrong. It was only the beginning of what hacker watchdog John Vranesevich, founder of AntiOnline, calls an "online temper tantrum." Word spread to wired dorms and bedrooms all over the world that U.S. government sites were the target du jour. A group called Masters of Downloading replaced the Senate's home page with its own anti-FBI screed; a Portuguese hacker named M1crochip defaced an obscure Interior Department page and vowed famously (at least for 15 minutes) to "go after every computer on the Net with a [name that ends...
...still a nation that reveres literature and poetry, and the people who write it. "The perception of going after intellectuals fueled public indignation -- moderates appear to have led the counterattack with the arrests of suspects," says Dowell. The real question, though, is whether these bloody tit-for-tats between Iranian factions will eventually tear the country apart...

Such an overtly macho action is hardly unusual in subcontinental politics. As TIME Pentagon correspondent Mark Thompson says: "Pakistan is trying to return to the status quo ante...
...that, the Muslim nation has to suffer another kind of tit-for-tat. President Clinton, who spent Wednesday night begging Sharif not to go ahead with the blasts, has already pledged to deliver the same kind of punishments imposed on India. The effects on Islamabad -- still saddled with sanctions for trading missiles with China -- will be exponentially greater. And that's not counting the crippling cost of a now inevitable subcontinental arms race. Back in 1974, Pakistani prime minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto vowed his country would go nuclear even if his people had to "eat grass." Now the nukes...
