Dinesh D'Souza: Bill, there's another piece of political correctness I want to mention. And, although I think Bush has been doing a great job, one of the themes we hear constantly is that the people who did this are cowards.

Bill Maher: Not true.

Dinesh D'Souza: Not true. Look at what they did. First of all, you have a whole bunch of guys who are willing to give their life. None of 'em backed out. All of them slammed themselves into pieces of concrete.

That would be Dinesh D'Souza, held in high regards for quite sometime by the worthless Claremont Institute

Never knew Dinesh said that. Simply wow.

I actually like a lot of Dinesh D'Souza's work, yet the Claremont 'tute with its Lincoln worship doesn't really grab me.

The remainder of the exchange, which got Bill Maher in hot water, was...

MAHER: Exactly.

D'SOUZA: These are warriors. And we have to realize that the principles of our way of life are in conflict with people in the world. And so -- I mean, I'm all for understanding the sociological causes of this, but we should not blame the victim. Americans shouldn't blame themselves because other people want to bomb them.

MAHER: But also, we should -- we have been the cowards lobbing cruise missiles from 2,000 miles away. That's cowardly. Staying in the airplane when it hits the building, say what you want about it, it's not cowardly. You're right.

The point is, Maher didn't call them heroes. A person may be courageous yet a scoundrel.

What I find quite interesting is that these Arabs copied in such detail an ancient Jewish tactic (suicidally take down a building to kill 3,000 enemies), yet I don't think anyone debates Samson's "cowardice" in his actions.

Dinesh D’Souza is a dhimmi tool Read his new book. He thinks that Islam is non-violent and calls anyone who disagrees racist.
