Suicide is the coward's way out. Never have to face the consequences of your actions.

[John H K]

Here's the Webster's New World Dictionary Definitions of "coward" and "cowardly."

coward: A person who lacks courage, esp. one who is shamefully unable to control fear and so shrinks from danger or trouble.

cowardly: suggests a reprehensible lack of courage in the face of danger or pain.


Anyway you slice it, the 9/11 hijackers weren't cowards. Deal with it.

And the Clinton response to terror was the launching of cruise missles, and the rejection of plans for Special Forces to go after terrorists camps out of the fear of casualties. To the perspective of other countries, how is that not cowardly?

Mahr was simply taking note of the way the word cowardly had mutated in American discourse away from its accepted definition, and effectively slamming Clinton's anti-terror policy, though he didn't mention Clinton by name.
