JC,

My take on this was that he was just saying they weren't cowards and that maybe our way of responding by sending out missiles from afar without risk to our own life or limbs causing death and destruction to innocents is not a very brave reaction. It may be a justified response in our own eyes but if you want to know how the rest of the world view us, sometimes you need to take a look at different perspectives.

Actually, the thing that I find stupid and insensitive are those that talk about how bad 9/11 was and then go out and buy an suv that gets 10 miles per gallon. Or how about the american car company that makes and sells that car. Or how about the government that for years subsidized that car. That car that uses the gas that pays the terrorist governments that fund the terrorism with the oil money that we pay. I went out and bought a honda civic hybrid in 2004 and I get 35-50 miles per gallon(I replaced a car that was getting 30 miles per gallon). And at the time I bought the car, the government was phasing out the tax credits for these cars. No bravery on the part of our elected officials. In fact, i would say that they have been cowards for refusing to tackle this problem until the issues of global warming are smacking them in their faces.
