No other word for it. Not one that wouldn't be censored, at least.

the 'heroes' of the Taliban. real men they. hiding when there's an opponent who can shoot back, but oh so brave when it comes down to assasinating a child (and still failing in the process)...

Hard to even talk about - just too sad and frustrating that people are this evil.

sometime i cannot comprehend how people can treat each other like this. How different are we then to savages and wild animals??
Blame no one but yourself for any failures. Similarly any success is also all you and you alone.
