Some radical Muslim group has taken responsibility for some major denial of service attacks on a lot of right wing blogs which are pro-Iraq war. In a way this is the beginning of cyberwar. Granted, these aren't computer systems that are particularly important the the war effort, but at the same time their influence reaches far beyond what you would think. Blogs like Insta-Pundit are read across the world and frequently quoted. I know I was very frustrated when I couldn't get the latest from Insta-Pundit because some jerks shut it down. It was only later that I found out it was related to a Muslim group. Cyberterrorism by stifling influential voices.

Obviously my blog is small and not very well read. There are a lot really interesting ones out there in the blogosphere, and it is fascinating to follow the trails of information from to another. I think mine would be a lot better were a little more educated on how to make it look pretty. I might even start linking to some bigger blogs to try to improve my readership. But right now I'm just having fun writing, and don't much care how many people read it.
