Effects of bringing down Iran's WWW

Effects of bringing down Iran's WWW connections.

There are some hysterical blogs suggesting

that dos attacks on Iranian pro-regime

web sites might bring down Iran's WWW.

And how that would be terrible as the

public couldn't see/read what was happening

in Iran.

While these voyeurism desires would go unfilled,

and the Iranian people might be at more risk

of extreme actions form the regime,

the regime it's self would be paralyzed.

Banking, phones, TV, Military com

would come to a stand still.

What the peoples majudeem do

is their business.

If they decide to bring down the Iranian

government communications, its

their decision.

Its their election, country decisions.

The Iranian Government has responded

by bringing down ISPs and filtering

WWW, and physically confiscating

satellite dishes.

The Iranian Government is on the

run, trying to block access to

western news media.

And the resistance has been

able to block most of the Regimes

Psy ops. and Info war by shutting

down the Governments propaganda

outlets.

Some of the Iranian news agencys

themselves have been participating

in the dos attacks against the resistance.

The Iranian Government finds its self

in a quandary, the more they engage

in DOS attacks the more bandwidth

they use up running the risk

of shutting off Irans own WWW.

Which would cripple the economy

and government. Bringing the regime

to its knees.

but just apply it to Iran's

internet The great cyber WAR
