2. And This means What?
emanon ,   USA   (09.30.10)
To a person with a hammer in their hand, everything looks like a nail. In other words, finding a name does not mean anything. Further, if it halted the Iranian's progress I applaud whoever created it.
3. :: It is not the worst that Iran will never know what hit it
Matty Groves ,   Fairport   (09.30.10)
The worst is about to come. Lean back and watch vile impersonator.
4. Hebrew year of destruction

The end is coming and israel couldnot be saved by Gauva Tree Adios bandidos
5. If we were looking for nuclear weapon
reza shah ,   tehran   (09.30.10)
we would have them by now it is amazing that how many iranian have been kidnapped by the US none of them came out and said that Iran persue nuclear weapon only in the wild imagination of those who do not want iran to prosper we have weapons that far more dangerous than nukes we hope we do not have to use it
6. this worm is muslims provocation to put Israel on spotlight
Mark Bernadiner ,   Pearland, USA   (09.30.10)
7. To: No. 4
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (09.30.10)
Sit down, roll over and behave. Iran -- to whom you have foolishly declared allegiance -- is dead. Don't you think that Israel has spanked you enough? The Golan. 82 downed Syrian MIGs in 1982 (all Israeli aircraft safely returned to base). One deeply, deeply destroyed pathetic Syrian attempt to achieve nuclear status. You really need to crawl off into a hole somewhere. Israel isn't playing anymore. Hush, or you will be sent to bed without any dinner! And no -- kick, scream and tantrum as much as you like, the Golan is forever now a part of Israel. Suck it up and deal with it!

Well , the only nation that´s granted to survive is Israel! Pick up a bible and read, don´t be so jealous because you don´t belong to the chosen people! You can join in and meat HaMachiach, if you belive in Abraham Isac and Jacobs God!

13. What disasters do you sit on if it infects US &Israel Sites?
Tayfun_Turkey ,   Istanbul   (09.30.10)
There are so many SCADA or similar systems vulnarable and they are WORKING in full Capacity that is they are Nuclear dangers near to your homes What if a changed code hit rest of the world and led to a Nuclear disaster? Perhaps Israel produced its own doom day? Who knows?
14. To: No. 5
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (09.30.10)
So, how do you account for all the venomous rhetoric that has emanated from Teheran over the past thirty years calling for the destruction of the "Zionist entity" (by which the Islamofascist Republic means Israel, of course), and all that talk about the "Great Satan," by which your vile country means the United States. Well, Iran just got kicked to the curb. Socially, the Islamofascist Republic has ALWAYS been in the seventh century. Guess what? Israel just sent you to the seventh century technologically, as well. You have weapons "far more dangerous" than nukes? Biological? Chemical? Good luck with those. Stuxnet is such a far-reaching virus ...... Face it -- Iran is dead and buried. And no one in the world is mourning your passing AT ALL. Zionist entity: 1 Iran: -10 LOL!
15. To: No. 13
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (09.30.10)
Neither the United States nor Israel is as inept as Iran. Not an issue. Try again, Typhoon Tayfun.
16. syria eagle I hope you get Polio
Jones Salk a Jew ,   USA   (09.30.10)
A jew cured the the world of this desease. You and your children should not use it since you hate jews and anything jewish.
17. Yeah Irans weapons are idiots willing to kill and die for a
fable, thinking they ,   holy warriors   (09.30.10)
18. #4 - yeah...been hearing that since 1948
William ,   Israel   (09.30.10)
always the mental masturbation of Arabs who salivate at the hopes that their dream of genocide and a destroyed Israel will become a reality. And speaking of reality....despite the regular "predictions" of the Arab "Nostradamus", Israel continues to grow and prosper, produce amazing technologies, develop culture, and win wars. I YAWN in your general direction.
19. #5 - do you base it on your own hubris, or absolute ignoranc
William ,   Israel   (09.30.10)
"If we wanted a nuclear weapon we would have had one by now". So, either you believe that understanding technology and acquiring somewhat rare materials for creating nukes is very easy for Iranians....or you believe the Mullahs are just nice, misunderstood people who happen to like absolute privacy on everything from the food they like to nuclear facilities which they lie about and hide underground. Both show a huge disconnect in logical reasoning and your claims. I know Iran has a horrible weapon - it's called Shia terrorism! And so far, the good people of Iran, Lebanon, Gaza, Israel, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, Russia, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Morocco, and Argentina have felt its horrible wrath. Handing a WMD to this evil ideology will only bring more pain to the world, hence the sanctions and all.
20. WSJ says no one knows from where it came.
Claudia ,   Tampa USA   (09.30.10)
The NYT is just the one to try to pin this on Israel, the place they consider the root of all evil. This is not to say the Israeli's are not the masterminds! GO Israel! You are just the best!
21. Syria and it's sudden and soon exit from the world stage
Jeff ,   Athens, Alabama, USA   (09.30.10)
Isaiah 17:1-4 tell us that Damascus will become a ruinious heap. They will make a fatel mistake, and introduce chemical weapons into Northern Israel; When Israel responds, they too will use a WMD. Damascus will be history, and the nation of Syria will become a wasteland...
22. Myrtus...Ester?
Yaakov ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (09.30.10)
Well, since the Myrtus family of fruits includes the Guava. I believe the Virus' files are based on the family of fruits as opposed to the book of Ester or the holiday of sukkot. It just seems like unnecessary provocation against Israel.
23. 4 Wishful thinking.

24. to #4 Besi mi bicho
jason white ,   afula,israel   (09.30.10)
The end will come soon for iran and syria. You will be deader than the 20,000 citizens of homs murdered by ass-ad and his security forces almost 30 years ago.

Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (09.30.10)
Thank you for that link.
26. :: There is an antidote given to friendly nations only
Matty Groves ,   Fairport   (09.30.10)
There is also an antidote to Islam infection: Turn Mecca into dust. As primitive as Islam is, its followers believe that their supremacist/racist ideology is vested in the ghastly black meteorite, thus destroying it will destroy Islam too. You as a true follower of deceptive Islam of course will deny it, but all ex-Muslims confirm that it is true.
27. The bible again wish you where here
syria eagle ,   homs   (09.30.10)
here in syria we have the true bible it was been saved in the cave of intakia what you have is achiese version so you are lost in translation and numbers what i am telling you is the truth that abraham issac and jacob said a long time ago time for bandidos to go
28. To: Eaglebeak at No. 25
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (09.30.10)
You are most welcome. I confess that I cannot get enough of the story. Forgive my immodesty, but I do have ties in Washington that I am exploiting shamelessly, just to get more and more information. What I am hearing from pretty much everyone is that Iran's nuclear dreams are dead; its industrial base is severely compromised (Israel is operating 80% of Iran's computers!) and Israel has done exactly what it has promised for months: shut down Iran's nuclear program. A friend who is pretty high up in the NSA told me that the Stuxnet worm is the "Gutenberg Bible of computer viruses." Iran is crippled and dying. If they COULD launch against Israel, they would, except they cannot because all the relevant computers are infected, and Israel essentially could control the launch (as in turn it around and drop it on Teheran). There are days when I wouldn't trade being Jewish for ANYTHING!
29. To: Claudia at No. 20
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (09.30.10)
There are only two countries in the world with the capability of creating the Stuxnet: the United States and Israel. I have friends in Washington who assure me that the U.S. was blindsided and dumbfounded -- and that the NSA is scrambling as fast as it can to understand and decode the worm (except it mutates approximately every nanosecond). That leaves Israel. Iran -- the greatest threat to civilization ever -- has not only been neutralized; it has been brought to its knees, by tiny little Israel -- without the loss of a single human life. I don't know what you call it, but I call it gosh-darned cool! Human ingenuity with a spark of the divine. We were chosen for a reason.
30. Hey #27
Brad ,   USA   (09.30.10)
If you have the "real Bible", then why don't you reveal it to the world? If your (so called) "real Bible" actually exists, then the koran would not be needed, right? Oh, by the way, when was the Bible corrupted as the muslims claim? It must have been sometime during muhammad's lifetime, because whoever wrote the koran,(it wasn't muhammad, because he was illiterate) wrote in favor of the Bible, and the "people of the book". Afterwards, of course, the writers changed their minds, (saying God changed his mind) and said that the Bible was corrupted. Both archeology, and logic, reveal muslim claims about Biblical corruption to be nothing but childish rants. You, like all people who have ever existed, have been hardwired with innate knowledge of the Biblical God. However, like most people, you have suppressed that knowledge in unrighteousness.
