You're confusing indecency with cowardice. This seems to be the reason you cannot see the obvious. Indecent acts are not necessarily cowardly. There needs to be fear in the face of danger. In the first place, taking advantage of the helpless is not generally a dangerous activity: at least, not directly so. Cowardice requires (at the least)fear in the face of danger. If these are not present there can be no cowardice.

Again, OBL has chosen a lifestyle which places him at risk from all sides, including those near him. He has survived about adozen assassination attempts, yert continues to confront death. Nothing could be more obvious than that he is NOT afraid of death. By focusing on a cowardice which is not there, you detract from the despicabilty of his contemptible acts. Cowardice is not evil. It is weakness. Focus on what the man is: a cold-blooded murderer, and heartless fanatic.
