What theory is plausible?  DNSSEC even sounded good on the drawing board. ;)

I think that war strategists have always only wanted to attack the 
other side's war machine and political machine.  (Said 
sarcastically:) A bullet in a civilian is a waste of metal after all. 
The problem is that theory and operations don't mesh well.

A bomb that killed only warriors and their infrastructure and left 
schools and  children safe is as likely to exist as an electronic 
messaging protocol that prevented spam but let good email through. 
(How's that at trying to come back to being on topic?)
