Well i think "coward" is the only word they could find to use.. Any other word could jsut as easily be used to describe US actions.

Lest i launch into another rant about how similar "terrorist" and "anti-terrorist" actions are, suffice it to say that the only difference that Bush could stick to is that fact that the US/the West does its killing in the open with big guns from a distance. The terrorists on the other hand do it covertly and nobody knows its gonna happen before it happens ( Unlike Iraq for example that EVERYBODY knew was gonna happen before it did).

I dunno though.. killing yourself for a cause (horribly misguided as it may be) requires some serious cojones. Sitting pretty in a bomber at 30,000 feet dropping explosives hardly seems *ahem* BRAVE in comparison does it.

Anyhow anything Bush says is at BEST rhetoric, and at worst a bald faced lie. What he said after 9/11 is hardly any different.. EMotionally loaded words are thrown about with the purpose of galvanizing support ( not with the purpose of actually analyzing, understanding and SOLVING anything).

Just another teeny fart in the whirlwind of rhetoric the Bush admin has hidden their not-so-damn-noble motives behind.
