For Newt to have praised the Japanese attack is no different than had he
praised the "911" attackers for a brilliant surprise move.

Right after 9/11, some talk show guy made a statement to the effect of
"Whatever those guys were, they were not cowards. Cowards to not
knowingly go to their deaths in support of their mission."

Needless-to-say he was eviscerated by the media and the public.

My thought was "Know your enemy."




Anyone who stabs someone in the back with a knife is a coward.


We're having an altercation. I yell out "I'm gonna kill you, MF"!
I turn around to reach for a gun on the table. If you stab me,
in the back, you're a coward, right? Another lesson on why what
precedes, context, are so important.





Have to admit that in 3rd grade I kicked the school bully in the butt
when he bent over to tie his shoe. (He came up awfully bloody.)

He never beat me up again and even all through high school no one messed
with me because they knew I'd find a way to get them back.

Agreed, sometimes it is ok to stab someone in the back depending on the
situation
