The Battle of Algiers - the film

Journalist: M. Ben M'Hidi, don't you think it's a bit cowardly to use
women's baskets and handbags to carry explosive devices that kill so
many innocent people?

Ben M'Hidi: And doesn't it seem to you even more cowardly to drop
napalm bombs on defenseless villages, so that there are a thousand
times more innocent victims? Of course, if we had your airplanes it
would be a lot easier for us. Give us your bombers, and you can have
our baskets.
