Star Wars Defense for American Cyber Security

In the 1980's Ronald Reagan sent our nation on the path of nuclear security by investing in the Star Wars defense system. I'm no expert, so I don't even know that we got all the way to the level that he envisioned, but we did invest heavily in innovation and one result was the fall of the Soviet Union. To be frank, no one in the world can keep up when we join together and decide to research and innovate.

"Since July 20, Internet security experts have been tracking coordinated cyber attacks on Georgia’s Internet infrastructure. It is still unclear to what extent the Russian military directly carried out these attacks, but two things are known for sure: 1) the traffic patterns and servers used in the attack are “overwhelmingly coming out of Russia” and 2) the attacks coincided with conventional Russian military action. Military experts believe the Georgian conflict is the first time cyber warfare has been used alongside a conventional war." From Morning Call: Cyber Wake-up

I think this is the next frontier for Star Wars (sorry for mixing the metaphors) and that we as a nation need to join together and develop the best cyber security and cyber attack capabilities.
