I am curious as to why so many of you seem fond of using that term. It doesn't strike me as any more accurate in regards to the terrorists than it does if applied to our own forces, with our leaders in hiding in times of danger and our long historical tendency to prefer relatively safe air strikes to cut down on American casualties.
How would you define "cowardice" and what do you gain by continually using that term in regards to the terrorists?
The way some of you seem to be using it, the terrorists are "cowards" if take cover from our bombs and missles instead of standing out in the open to be easily blown up by us.

No, Bin-bin is a coward because he won't admit he planned the attacks. He's afraid to.. Atleast the IRA has the balls to say I DID IT. Most fanatics work in shadows anyway. And don't bother with the argument "Well the USA hides the vice pres". They ONLY do that to maintain a government structure incase of an attack.
It's funny.. you really seem to admire these people?! Please say you DON'T.
