"We have been the cowards lobbing cruise missiles from 2,000 miles away," said Bill Maher, the host of Politically Incorrect. "That's cowardly. Staying in the airplane when it hits the building, say what you want about it, it's not cowardly." This is factually correct.
One's courage begins with one's ability to accept the truth.
It was also courageous for 4 terrorists armed with box cutters to confront and control 100 passengers + crew.
These people may be evil, insane, murderers, whatever. But the are NOT cowards. I wouldn't call them soldiers though. 'Terrorist' describes them quite well.

The orchestrators of the attack were cowardly -- This is who W was referring to. The kamikazis were not cowardly, just stupid and sick.

Cowards knowingly attack and kill innocent civilians.
If they had taken over a military transport full of soldiers and flown that into the WTC's then you could call them something other than cowards.
But they didn't do that, did they?

Lobbing cruise missles rather than being a kamikazi isn't cowardly, it's smart.
Suicide is stupid, not courageous.

You clould make a case the Usama is a coward, sending people to their death, instead of doing it himself.

The cowards are the ones who ordered it, not the ones who carried it out. It gets especially cowardly when those who are responsible don't claim responsibility. Fact is, we are dealing with cowards.

It is despicable, snivelling cowardice.
Let these terrorists try the same tactics with plane load of armed Special Forces soldiers and I will call them courageous.

...NOT cowards...????
What an idiotic perspective. Let's see. Some joe's got a beef with you. He beats the crap outta your defenseless wife and child and set your house on fire. He's not a coward?

Cutting the throat of a small woman or threatening to do so to control group of people is not courage. Having no fear because your insane is not courage.
Confronting someone with a weapon when you don't have one is courageous.

Standing up to unarmed passengers and killing women and children on the flights isn't courageous. Courageous is the passengers on flight 93(?) who acted against these barbarians who wage terror on those they think are inferior to themselves. It isn't a sign of bravery to be a brainwashed fanatic.

Bullsh*t. It's easy to control an unarmed women and men (who probably had no idea of their fate) with sharpened knives.

When you left E. Germany how did you come to America...the FR w/o a moral compass--foundation?
Can a criminal have virtue--a psychopath honor--decency??
You have very strange values--beliefs.
You came here for the drugs---rock music--abortion--libertarianism?
