    "Cyber 9/11" and "Cyber Pearl Harbor" already have an old-hat feeling. Here are a few HOT NEW HISTORICAL CYBERS that I give to the world: - Cyber Lusitania - Cyber USS Maine (slightly different!) - Cyber Zimmerman Telegram - Cyber Cuban Missile Crisis

        I am worried that current events might turn into a Cyber Quagmire or maybe a Cyber Forgotten War. Is there a way to regain Cyber Initiative through some sort of Cyber Troop Surge? Should we look into a Cyber Stop-loss policy?
