THAT was cowardice. And in fact, it doesn't even take all *that* much hate - recent studies of the psychology of suicide bombers show they're not *that* much different than anybody else. It's the same psychology as *any* soldier who's willing to attack an enemy position knowing that they'll probably get killed. So we shouldn't be surprised at the terrorists being able to do it - *our* guys went in at Omaha Beach, and Iwo Jima. And it was the same thing, basically.... http://www.interesting-people.org/archives/interesting-people/200407/msg00159.html (And isn't it interesting that we know the military record of the al Quaida guy who surrendered in Saudi Arabia last week, but our own Commander-in-Chief's records are missing?? ;)
