My point is that heros are not made out of their beliefs but out of their great deeds and victories fightin for that belief. At least that is how society seems to label heros.
i did not say that i thought those things make bin laden a hero...look at my quote. I aint said nary a word about my opinion on what i thought made a hero a hero, just what it seems that society labels them.
Sorry iffin ya'll took it that way...so i reckon i'll put it this way:

To me, if you are enlisted in the armed forces in the US, and you have served your country in conflict, you are my hero. Robert E Lee is my hero. He was my great great grandfather's hero...he was with Lee at Appomatox and he followed Lee all 4 years. They followed Lee for better and mostly for worse. Any man who can rally such a force on bare feet and empty stomachs for 4 years derserves to be a hero. I aint apologizin fer nothin my great great granpa did....I aint apologizin fer slavery, I aint apologizin cause half my family on both sides fought fer Lee and the Confederacy and I aint apologizin fer pissin everybody off when i say it LOL
