Mike, While the individuals may not fully comply with Webster's definition for a coward, clearly the act portrays cowardice better than anything I can imagine. Striking defenseless and innocent victims without warning seems to me to be exactly what cowards do. FWIW, Ian

Timothy Noah has way too much time on his hands. They're cowards. It's not worth the time, worrying about whether or not it's rhetoric. Words, tolerance and rationale are powerful weapons of the brave. These guys apparently didn't have the tools. Perhaps terrorists are cowardly for not claiming responsibility for their terrorist acts, as seems to be the case here. Often, though, terrorists do claim responsibility and get called cowards anyway. Those Palestinians, dancing in the streets? They'd love to know who to thank. How many of them would have danced, if they were on vacation, in the streets of New York? Zero. Are those kids going to strap on a bomb some day and walk into a disco? It looks like they're fertile recruits, given the provocation of irresponsible adults, correct? That's where terrorists come from, out of the ranks of cowards. *Then* they become "single-minded, brainwashed, robots". The overlay distorts the basic nature -- coward. Palestinian-Americans who are working hard, sending checks back home to support their families? They're heroes. Yup, Timothy has way too much time on his hands. Best to you and all our friends during these troubled times.
