80. People had the same reaction regarding the 9/11 hijackers.
If you recall shortly after 9/11, there was an incident that got Bill Maher kicked off of ABC. He made a comment about how stupid it was that shrub was always calling the terrorists a bunch of cowards. They were terrible people, were immoral and perhaps without a conscience, but calling them 'cowards' is stupid because although they may be many awful things, being a coward wasn't one of them. Him pointing out this simple fact got him kicked off television for quite a while. People who are willing to give their lives for their cause are not cowardly. Misguided, evil perhaps, but cowardly no. People here seem to fail to realize that people can be anything but cowardly and still be an asshole.
