So you would agree that those men who flew the planes were "truly brave"?

"I believe that were Osama truly brave, by that poster's stated definition, he would have personally flown those planes into their tragic targets, rather than find and indoctrinate 19 young, impressionable men to do his dirty work, as he headed for the hills and caves to avoid capture and punishment. "

There you are, we agree. The men who knowingly killed themselves in the planes were brave. I agree with you. We'll just disagree on Osama. FWIW I think Mao was pretty brave too- Nasty as anything, and of course he had to hide a lot too. But he seemed pretty brave- if historical accounts are accurate.

You know, Adolph was pretty brave, too. Won the Iron Cross in the German Army in WWI. A distinction rarely given to mere corporals.

On other scales by which we measure humans, he'd rank beneath a slug, though. Right up there with Osama, though.
