I don't care what you think about the matter. I'm going with the dictionary on this one, and nothing you say and no slanderous accusations you might care to make elsewhere are going to make me think differently about WORDS. In fact all the nastiness and really horrible behavior I have seen in regard to my mere opinion on a WORD makes me think I am very correct indeed. Nothing makes people more angry than to be in the wrong. I will think of this matter in that light. Thank you SO much for your 2 cents. You may have them back now. plink

Anyone who advocates or encourages the killing of non-armed civilians is truly a coward at heart, no matter how many other brave things they may do with their life. Many would consider such a characterization of Americans as inaccurate. Even the Japanese accept that the intentional vaporizing of thousands of men, women, and children was not an act of cowardice. It was an act of pragmatism. Do you agree? Cowardice is a very mild term which applies to almost all people at some time in their lives. Saying that OBL gets scared (well--even if it were true)...how in the Hell does that differentiate him from millions of good and decent human beings. Stop letting him off the hook with such lame adjectives. Many people lack courage. Don't equate them with OBL, please.
