I heard Maher got canceled. Too bad he doesn't appeal to the masses like Carlos Estévez.
I've never heard of Carlos Estevez. Guess I'm not in the "masses".
Seems to me that Maher said that the hijackers showed sopme courage.
I see his point thought I personally would not have put it that way.
A suicide mission takes a person totally committed to the cause. That may be a definition of courage in some circles. Take a hypothetical situation in which a soldier stands his ground firing at an advacing enemy in order to allow his comrades to move to a better position or escape an ambush. Our military is quite willing to honour that individual posthumously for their courage and sacrifice. A true story would be of that first bomber raid ion Tokyo after which the ombers tried to fly on to China. many never made it or went down before reaching the Chinese army controlled territory. I am quite sure that in fundementalist Islamic circles the hijackers are regarded as courageous soldiers who carried out a mission to hit at the homeland of the enemy.
