Fucking Cowards

Right after 9/11 Bill Maher lost his show because he disagreed with everyone saying that hijackers were cowards. He said something to the effect that if someone is willing to die, kill themselves, and goes through with it for the cause they believe in, that is hardly cowardice. And I totally agree with that. He lost his show when sponsors pulled out by the end of the week but he's back on HBO and he has never taken back what he said. He's a complete idiot sometimes and rarely are his writers funny but I agree with him here and he's one of the best advocates for the 1st amendment. So right on Bill!.
But then... here we go again. Today I heard on three separate occasions, two real, and one on The West Wing, suicide bombers "committing acts of cowardice." What the fuck! It just strengthens their side when we go overboard and basically lie because it makes us feel better. Oh they're cowards for not only risking their lives but actually killing themselves. And we're so brave because we decided not to have a draft after 9/11 and not to sacrifice anything during this wartime and just sit around on the couch as before but with a little code yellow sign at the bottom of the Fox News ticker.
We're all against them, what the hell does adding something stupid to the mix do to help this situation? These fuckers are brutal and brave. They're fighting for a cause we don't believe in but they sure as hell do and bravery is not something that takes sides. They suck, I want them all dead, I want our side to win and theirs to lose, but for God's sake they are not cowards, now pick another freakin' word!
