Do you believe the US wrote stuxnet?

I never thought that a piece of malware could do a good deed,

To answer your question, yes, I believe it was written by the US
and put to work with Israels help.
Stuxnet was designed( as i understand) to render useless Iran's
nuclear facilities in a very clever way and delay its progress, this

Many of them want Israel blown up, and then the US.
