Hi West, I agree with most of the article but: starting with our president, used the adjective 'cowardly' to describe the perpetrators. This is inappropriate. I disagree here simply because your friend is putting the same constraint on the word coward as many have recently. By the definition in the dictionary he is absolutely correct, however in the common vernacular of our day cowardly also denotes an attack on innocents or at least defenseless victims. The dictionary entry will eventually be modified to catch up with the dynamics of a living language. The same issue surfaces with the presidents use of 'crusade'. Most people look at crusade as a campaign with extra zeal, not necessarily religious at all. Unfortunately the other side and their apologists are taking it literally in in its Archaic form of a Christian Holy War. All just MHO. Message 16363557 regards Kastel acute and cuddly Canadian
