Honestly WE are cowards, for the most part we have subscibed to the same techniques of thos e that we called cowards after 9/11. We said hand over those responsible or we will beat you up. We then moved into a country whose president gave his condolences after the 9/11 attack and told him give over your weapons or we will beat you up. Thus, we have taken on that school yard bully persona. We stepped up to that reputation, no one gave it to us.
We supposedly entered into Iraq because Sadam would not give up the supposed arsenal of bio weapons that he was hidding. The blockade of Cuba was over the missile that were there. My comparison is the two different ways that each was handled.
If I could change one thing about the government I believe it would be to enact a greed law governing the way the government does business. Too many officals are allowed to act on selfish endevores without any real consequences. At present, only hanious ventures are looked into.
Not trying to start any real arguement with anyone, however I expect you to read the whole thing and understand it. I may expect too much out of people. I will work on that and thank you for reminding me that I am not the only mind around here.

RE: Is Bin Laden Right? Are We Cowards?
sometimes we die for our beliefs. I would rather die for what is right then live on in shame for what I know is wrong.
