And flying into a building dosen't take guts when your taking innocent people with you and condemming them to a bloody death.
I think the word your looking for is committed, and thats a whole different thing.

Well there were men on those planes too CC. And there was risk (see the passenger reaction on the Pennsylvania flight as one possible risk they were facing, among others). There would be many fears associated with what they were doing (fear of dieing, fear of not completing the mission, fear of making a mistake, fear you were perhaps doing the wrong thing, etc.) and they faced down those fears and completed their horrible mission. Facing down your fears takes courage.

One has nothing to do with the other. Somebody could probably name the fallacy you've committed.
