Here's a new war: "cyberwar".

#  "Head of CIA Plans Center To Protect Federal Computers"
#  By Tim Weiner, The New York Times, 6/26/96
#  
#  John Deutch, Director of the CIA, is building a "cyberwar" center in the NSA.
#

#  second only to nuclear, biological and chemical weapons.
#  
#  "The electron," Mr. Deutch warned, "is the ultimate precision-guided weapon."
