Where is the strength of character necessary for compromise and dialogue? Acceptance of an imperfect situation? Pragmatism?
These men gave in to hate, they gave in to destruction, they gave in to violence. I have no hesitation in calling them cowardly.
Osama is the greatest coward of the lot. Calling on men to do what he himself will not do. Bush, Guliani and Cheney by comparison are cogs in a wheel. Rudi was there at the collapse. Bush has been to the scene. None of them are soldiers and would have no effectiveness in combat.

Reading through your post I was struck by the double standards being displayed. So Bush can hide in safety, while he directs soldiers to do his bidding, and is not a coward, while Bin Laden is a coward for doing the same thing. Right.
I would ask you to reread the parts of your post I have quoted. Do your words not also apply to the United States?
