New Who are we calling the terrorists?
The evil people that hijacked the plane (by attacking women and children) or the evil people that have developed the plan to commit murder and suicide?

Even cowards can be called brave if they walk into danger but "taking candy from a baby" is not an act of bravery. I guess many think that committing suicide is brave. I'm not so sure.

New Suicide
is different from giving your life for "the cause". Suicide is self destruction for no gain. The people who carried out the attacks knew they were probably going to die and did so willingly (I assume).

Ask an infantryman attacking up hill against a fortified gun emplacement what his chances of survial are, and then ask if he will still carryout the attack. "Is suicide to attack, but ..."
