No, "we" are not cowards. We never have been. It's the 'leaders' of our country who are the cowards! Bush keeps making all these threats and then he never follows through on them.....
In fact, with Iran, after saying we will never meet with them, we turned around and invite them to discuss Iraq with us.....
I'm NOT a happy camper over that idiotic move! It makes that nut seem like he backed us down and are afraid of him so we gave in to him.
