Suicide Bombing or Aerial Bombardment
In the spirit of the "Beheading or nude pyramid thread"...
Whilst we all love to label our country's current enemies cowards and savages, i must ask. Is it more courageous to drop a bomb from high in the atmosphere or to pay the ultimate sacrifice to deliver the payload? The point is that while we all sit safely tucked in a whole hemisphere away from any real armed iraqi conflict, we pretend to know who the cowards are and who the heroes are. I claim that the real cowards in any war are those who scream for a war that they themselves are unwilling to fight.
It is possible to divide a prowar opinion into two different perspectives: Those who believe something needs to be done so much that they will die for it and those who believe something needs to be done just enough that they think their countrymen should die for it. As far as i'm concerned, those in the latter camp have no right to question the courage of those in the former camp, regardless of which side they may be on.
