C H A P T E R  SEVEN

WAR

 
You of the Al Qaeda, of the Taliban, and your followers think that you are waging a war against
the Infidel.

You see yourselves as heroic figures.

But I have knowledge of your warriors of the
past.

They fought hard and valiantly in their cause, and they won or lost with dignity.

Right or wrong, they were brave men, men of
courage who asked nothing of others that they
were not prepared to give of themselves.

They walked proud and tall through the streets
of their lands, knowing that they were respected
and admired. 

They didn’t hide in caves in fear.

They were brave men, who rode at the head of
their army into the fray. They were men of
courage and valor.

They didn’t send out misguided young men to
make the ultimate sacrifice which they themselves were not prepared to make.

You, Al Qaeda and Taliban alike, are no
warriors.

You shame the valiant heroes who precede you.
Brave men fight while cowards hide in caves and in
the gathering places of women and children.

But terrorism has always been a coward’s war.
 

“Cowards die a thousand times before their
death, The valiant never taste of death but
once”*

But you would know that already.

* Shakespeare
