Your precise thinking is a major reason why when a new exploit is
released, so many get caught.
The layered protection is necessary to properly protect the computer.
Instead you count on antivirus or patches which is specific to the
exploit while a firewall closes and bars all the doors.
They need to work together and not either/or.
Properly configured a firewall adds little overhead to the computer.
Your inability to properly configure your firewall is by no means a
reason for others to drop necessary protection.
You should keep the politics of Iraq out of this.
This is at least the second time you have brought it up.
Not only are you ignoring the practical reasons people have given, you
are apparently attempting to further inflame the discussion with your
irrelevant political jabbering.
Take your political garbage elsewhere, it does not belong here.
