On Cowardice

When you say the USA version, you are talking about the Gulf War in 1991 and not now right? If you think what we are doing over there now is terrorism, that is crazy..

Why are you so outraged about this once incidence, that muslims committed such a vile act wheras Christians have done far worse in the past in the name of their faith. Are these to be ignored because they are part of history now? In that case then they are no more accountable today then the words of christ.

I agree with the info posted here for a solution! www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/NonCGI/Forum10/HTML/003961.html

And you never did think that it ever would happen again, in America did you? And you never did think that we'd ever get together again, but we damn sure fooled ya. We're walkin' real proud and we're talkin' real loud again, in America. And you never did think that it ever would happen again.... (Charlie Daniels)

Originally posted by John D Harris: Let's see if I got this right... When you sneak attack unarmed and unsuspecting people, "shoot them in the back" if you will that's not cowardice. When you tell some that you are going to attack if certain conditions are not met "going to kick the left side of your head with my right foot and there is not a damn thing you can do about it" if you will that is cowardice. HHMMMMM?

If the first example is cowardly, then the last example is too, John D., provided that the person threatening to kick ass is much stronger than his target. Where is the bravery in a strong person beating up on someone who can't really hurt him back, as is typically the case with the way the US wages wars with its planes and missles?

Originally posted by Diogenes Of Pumpkintown: As for the definition of cowardice being taking action and then hiding in the shadows instead of claiming responsibility, in that case another legion of cowards has worked for the US government in the past, in every covert operation (and there have been very many) we have ever conducted.

I see it's pointless to even bother talking to you, you've made up your mind . No problem, just come out and say what you feel--no holds barred. No beating around the bush..

As I stated in my post, I was referring to the example of the Gulf War. Whether what we will do in Afghanistan will amount to similar terrorism against the Afghani people yet remains to be seen.
