I call these weapons cowardly because they are dishonorable. Sniping and bomb-dropping, modern warfare are all cowardly in the sense of honor. Honorable combat is hand-to-hand. I do not mean to say any soldiers are cowards. The cowards in modern warfare are the leaders, directing death and mayhem from their positions of comfort and security. Monster-Bush partying whilst sending his soldiers to kill and die. That is cowardice.
