The section on cowardice as regards the London attacks seems more like the writer's political opinion than a further clarification of the topic. Sorry if I'm wrong. The Ephialtist 13:12, July 27, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Unclear and Incomplete

From the article:

Cowardice is not fear, but rather a submission to vice...An example of cowardice would be to refuse to testify against a crime lord, merely because one might risk death.

Merely? And it is a vice to not want to die? This article reads quite strangely to me. Also, there is no mention of "cowardice" as a legal term, ie: the word is most commonly associated with military court-martials, which this article doesn't mention. 70.20.163.248 09:24, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

I think it's referring to 'vice' in the Catholic sense, although it should explicitly say so.

While I didn't take out the other portions of the article (I may go back and edit that one para for POV when I feel a bit more secure in POV issues), I did put in a legal definition of cowardice as regards the US military.Pat Payne 18:01, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
This article is a) a dictionary entry and b) entirely POV. Both are violations of WP policy. -- 68.6.40.203

[edit] POV trouble again?

From the article:

Someone who kills a defenseless person is also considered a coward.

This seems to be using badly disguised weasel words, showing a POV. Whilst I, and many others agree, this is not encyclopedic. Thoughts?
