Just about all leaders are like that, though. [/QUOTE]Especially quadraplegic (paralysed below the neck) people like Yassin?
What was he supposed to do, blow hard and hope that the momentum would carry him to his target? He may look like Gandalf, but I don't think he was that magical... [/QUOTE]Where there is a will there's a way. Men armed with boxcutters destroyed towers in the heart of the American empire no army could have got to. Your words limit quadraplegics in any case skunk. Quads can make art, sing, carry out gainful employment. This guy masterminded Hamas. I'm sure if he wanted to, he could have been a suicide bomber. They've used donkeys, children, why not wheelchairs?
Unless he didn't believe what he was preaching perhaps? Why hasn't Arafat become a Martyr? A true leader should be prepared to lead by example, not ask others to do what they will not.
