This is the latest media darling: we see the web site bearing this
name, we see numerous photographs reaffirming our bravery.  We are not
afraid! Really?  Let us see. We notice a backpack, which someone forgot
in a square.  This is what a person, who is REALLY not afraid would do:
he might either bring it to the "lost and found" or just ignore it,
hoping that whoever forgot it would come back and take it.  After all
you are more likely to be killed by a lightning, than by a backpack
bomb.

This is what we really do when we notice a backpack.  We call police,
which evacuates the whole square and nearby buildings.  They call a
special anti-bomb unit, which blows up the backpack to find nothing,
but some personal effects inside.  We call it "taking no chances", the
truth is we are not just afraid, we are "shitting-in-our-pants" afraid.

Even Bush and Cheney are "shitting-in-their-pants" afraid and so are
members of legislature.  Whenever Bush appears somewhere, Cheney is
hiding in an undisclosed location".  Whenever a private pilot loses his
way and approaches Capitol, all legislators are running for their
lives.  If this is not "shitting-in-their-pants" afraid, what is?  Bush
claims that his country is at war.  When your country is at war, you
should behave, like a commander-in-chief, not as a lousy coward.  Back
in 1941, when Hitler's army was 20 kilometers from the Kremlin, Stalin
was there, though he could have run to an undisclosed location in
Siberia.

As long as we and our leaders behave that way, all our claims about not
being afraid look just stupid and ridiculous.  The only people, who are
REALLY not afraid are the terrorists; there is no greater proof than
being ready to kill oneself.
