See Iraq: US intervention was considered unethical but was still needed to end Saddam Husseins regime because he killed many thousands Iraqis.
I understand what you're saying, but still. Some (well, more like many) still found the US intervention unethical, since maybe it could be solved by not going into war. But we never will know that for sure of course.

lol thats a bit too drastic...a DDoS attack doen't destroy the server, it disconnects it from the internet by overflowing it.
Make it a EM Bomb then or something... My point is the outcome will be the same, designed as DDoS attack or not.

As I said, as we have almost no other way to fight the spammers, we must do something against them even if some innocent people are hit.
There are ways to fight it without hurting innocent people...

More like a step backwards if you ask me....
Th way to fight spam is to report it to the autorities. Many spammers have already been punished by law. This method works (but is not widely know)... If more and more authorities make laws agains spamming, more and more the spam will reduce...
