### Some Al Qaida wackos might indeed believe Americans are cowards but
otherwise such silly statements are merely the verbal equivalent of mooning
the opposing warriors - a way of staying cool in the face of death. I'd
imagine America's enemies are mostly scared shitless and lying low - even
good old "Mother of all Battles" Saddam is curiously reticent with rhetoric.
