Cowards = People who kill others.

Osama Bin Laden was mad about Kuwait deciding to use the US instead of his CIA equiped and trained Al-Qaida force back in 1990-1991. Then, he was even more ticked off because Saudi Arabia allowed the US forces to stage on "The Holy Land" for their invasion of Iraq.

Bin Laden was summarily kicked out of S.A. because of voicing his "Opinions" on the matter and fled to Sudan. Where he regrouped and planned attacks on the U.S. (Why did he attack the U.S.?) Bin Laden was ticked off about how America is liked around the world. So the first WTC bombing in 1993 happened. Using people who had lost loved ones and preying on their grief and emotions, he convicnes them that American Involvement is the root of their pain. And that any act in defiance of America is a path to Paradise. The weak minded believe this nonsense and accept to commit suicide in the process of killing civilians as a path to the hereafter.

Then we have the Embassy Bombings. Al-Qaida makes friends with the worst of the worst in Africa (Military Gear lost by Service members in Somalia found in Al-qaida training camps in Afghanistan). USS Cole is bombed. You can't really call a boat floating up against a warship and blowing itself up an attack. But it happened. Then we have 9/11/2001.

I'm sorry, but Osama's war stems from his hatred of America and him using this hatred to brainwash ignorant people into believing that America is inherently evil. Are we arrogant? yes. Do we step in all around the world? yes. Are we expected to step in? YES. Are we vilified if we fail to assist when assistance is required? Yes. Was the movie "Hotel Rwanda" made to chastize China on how they didn't come to aid when the genocide was happening? No, America and the westerners were the bad guys.

Shut up flameboy you are the coward... As for the 9/11 hi-jackers, they were psycopaths, sadistic murderers, brainwashed nimrods and oh yeah COWARDS!!!!


If you respect them soooo much, why don't you go join them?

"What's more cowardous: Launching missiles from miles and miles away, dropping bombs from a plane from thousands of feet, or putting yourself in harms way like the hijackers did?"

One of these methods involves a distinction between combatant and non-combatant.

@ dhula: "When you sacrifice your life for what you believe in, how can that possibly be considered cowardly?"

Courage is not the only prerequisite for terminal self-sacrifice. Insanity/Delusion works just as well.

I dare anyone here to submit that Islamofascists aren't mentally unstable. I think you'd have to be, to base your entire modus operandi around the indiscriminate murder of civilian children and babies, women, students, senior citizens, etc.

As at least one other person intimated here, the cowardice is in the fact that terrorists routinely target *non-combatants*. They consistently and virtually exclusively attack people who represent no direct threat to them -- unlike, say, the American military, which doesn't target non-combatants (apart from political figures or organizational heads) with a couple of extremely rare exceptions (i.e. Hiroshima and Nagasaki, which were attacked as a last resort against the Japanese, who had vowed to turn their entire citizen population into a resistance force against invading allied armies, which would have resulted in the deaths of millions of people, mostly Japanese civilians).

George W. Bush was exactly right, and Bill Maher missed the point as usual.

Coward is not the right word for a killer. Evil maybe, but not coward.
On the other hand, when it comes to war. You have to redefine everything.
Those who kill the most are heros. This is a plain fact.
