If some people do not fear death at all .... does that detract from the bravery of their actions? I am not attempting to attach values to the descriptive terms. I am merely arguing semantics. Returning to my original comment, Bill Maher, in a rebuttal of a comment about the 9/11 hijackers being cowardly, insisted that they were not. Having listened to Mr. Maher for many years, I took his comment to be a rejection of either/or, right/wrong assumptions, such as: Our troops are brave; theirs are cowardly. Our leaders are godly; theirs are heathen. Our goals are lofty; theirs are sinister. I was dismayed to see this comment result in his being fired, as I believe he was entitled to voice his opinion. The behavior of those who fired him was far more alarming to me.
