If you call the hijackers cowards you can plan future attempts to thwart them based on the notion that they are cowards. Of course these would fail because these people are not cowards by any standard definition.. Note that I am not condoning their behavior. They are murders of the innocent. They are monstrous individuals filled with hate. But they are not cowards. _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
