And anyone who says they are courageous to die for their cause, I call bullshit - they're running from a shitty, 7th century existence straight to what they believe is eternal Easy Street. Their only "cause" is to leave behind a rich family while running to their 70 virgins. [/B]

Disturbing, yes. Cowardly? I don't really see how you could call anyone who is willing to strap a bomb to their body and detonate it to prove a point a coward. That takes a bootyload of conviction.
I see your point on the whole death is payment for eternal bliss deal, though. Maybe courageous isn't the right word, maybe the phrase "extremely faithful" would be more accurate. Every religion has 'em too.
I agree with sparhawk (imagine that) that the cowardice shown by the shadowy bosses is just a tad bit disgusting. Another case of people committed just enough to send
other people to die for their cause. I'd also like to point out that america also has its deceptive bosses who are only too happy to sacrifice the lives of others at the altar of the american cause.
