AFP: The "Daring" Munich Massacre
An AFP photo caption identifies the Munich massacre as "daring:"

Yes, I'd imagine that being responsible for the murder of world-class athletes, including a fencer, wrestlers, and weight lifters -- dangerous foes -- must have been a very scary and risky undertaking for Mr. Odeh. Mahmoud Abbas, for his part, didn't miss a chance to praise Oudeh for his daring feat.

Reminds me of the BBC eulogy for Sheik Ahmed Yassin: "He inspired them to offer up their lives, promising that suicide bombers who were willing to die for the sake of the dignity of Palestinians and in the service of a longer-term victory would achieve martyrdom." And it convinces me that some disturbingly broad swath of humanity has lost its mind - I just don't know if its the swath of which I'm a part or not.

This is what is wrong with our westernized thinking. If it's promoting ideals antagonistic towards colonized peoples it's considered ok. Our real war is with a self hating west and self styled intellectuals with countries who were colonalised and still consider themselves inferior to western civilization.
