they are succumbing to bribery and greed, which has very little to do with courage.... The fact that they fall for these brainwashing tactics fairly easily is a sad commentary on the condition and intelligence of many human beings in this world No disagreement there. On the other hand, once a state, ruling class or group of fanatics decides to support mass murderers, almost any means to destroy their military structure becomes justified Again, you are confusing cowardice with moral action, in my opinion. People can do both good or evil...whether they are frightened or cowed. Their fear (or psychotic LACK of fear) should never inform the meaning of the act. A brave psychotic prick who kills ten face to face, and who then fires a church holding 60--is STILL a prick. I don't give a shit how fearless the son of a bitch is. And I don't give a shit how fearless you are if you are a psychotic bastard. Hom many times do I have to say this?????
