Lets not limit the definition of cowardly to just yours.
It is also considered cowardly to shoot someone in the back or to sucker punch someone when they are not looking(maybe good metaphors for what happened at Pearl or 911). As for your comparison of Pearl and the Gulf War what a load of crap! Japan bombed us with no prior declaration of war or warning of war. In both the Gulf and Afaghanastan the Governments were given far warning of our intentions and given an opportunity to go another way. Todays Americans
have truly forgotten or are unwilling to pay the price of the freedom, and that is blood. You cannot reason or negotiate with your enemies you must kill them(that is war)
The casulties of the last 2 wars would not even rate a headline in the wars of the past. If we were fighting WWII
today the concern over body bags would lead to half of us learning to say heil Hitler and the other half heading for the ovens.
