Why is everyone saying that these attacks were cowardly? The terrorists hijacked planes and flew them straight into buildings, lets be honest, that requires a fair amount of balls! i'm certainly not approving of these actions but c'mon lets not change the definitions of words to suit our emotions in the eyes of U.S politics i wonder what constitutes an un-cowardly attack?

but if something like this had happened in Afghanistan you would have heard very little/nothing about it for example read this: http://www.johnpilger.com/print ciao, cheesemonster _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

you don't think that it would be easier on a "ball-less" and "heartless" person's conscious to take out 1000's of innocent and unsuspecting people when they're willing to and going to die anyway? they sure won't be around to suffer any consequences. suicidal people sometimes go on killing sprees before they shoot themselves in the head. is that "ballsy" to you, too? if so, then we simply do have different definitions of the word "balls".

do you think that only the people of the USA feel that this was cowardly??

well, gee, in that case, wouldn't it be awfully difficult to "feel" about something that I wouldn't "hear" about? I've seen plenty of footage of people throwing rocks at each other in the middle east, even that makes me sick. what makes you think that something of this magnitude wouldn't be covered here if it happened there?

Ah, but what made them determined to die in the first place? they were determined to die for a cause and that is not cowardly.

But this was not a case of (for examples sake) a suburban man who just loses his mind and guns down his family before killing himself. These people killed themselves for a reason, remember that fact, they had a prior motive, they did not just kill themselves because they just were mad. I am not saying that i approve of their actions, but they did it because they obviously felt very strongly about certain injustices/treatment against them. ciao, cheesemonster _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
