1)Do I think she would still bring her child up as a suicde bomber?...Yes.[QB]

I might be wrong here, but I don't think that any mothers would breed/raise their sons (and sometimes daughters) to become suicide-bombers or terrorist. As a matter of fact, mothers are the most protective people I know of. To become a suicide-bomber or a terrorist is a choice made by the individual and not their parents. The fact that Hamas offers economic aid to their families makes would-be bombers think that they're helping out their folks in the process as well.

2)All people - may it be in the US in Europe or in Afghanistan - are looking for a purpose in their life.....No....people in third world countries are looking for food not purpose. (Afghanistan example)

Hunger doesn't make people terrorists, just thieves at most.

4)People still bear hatred and with some it would overcome their joy of a better life. But it would be on the decrease and people would stop to bring up their children with the hatred they now have no more use for decreasing the problem further....again I disagree ... The people that still bear the hatred would continue to launch attacks against thier enemies---> therefore...there would (in the Isreali/Palistinian conflict) continually be counter attacks---> therefore... it will only perpetuate the hatred that has been going on for generations.
The western world has been trying to wipe out predjudice and hatred against blacks, asians, Pakistanis, etc..for longer than my lifetime and we live in a more "fortunate" part of the world with a "better life". If we cant do it here what makes you think they can do it there when thier Hatred runs deep enough that they will sacrifice their own children in the name of thier cause? A better lifestyle will not solve any problems. IMO

On the contrary it would. By better lifestyle I don't mean giving them Volvo's or anything, rather to give them the chance to be normal citizens like you and me; to give them a decent chance of getting a job, to make them able to drive around freely ( in their Volvo's
)without being stopped by soldiers at every crossroad and giving their children a chance to go to school regularly.

Im mearly trying to point out that these people THINK differant than us.

As I posted somewhere here before; they're not aliens, their mind doesn't function differently from ours. I can almost bet a dollar, no two dollars, that they have exactly the same hope and dreams like any of us. Circumstances have made them make the decisions they do and neither you nor me can guarantee that we wouldn't do what they do if we were in their shoes.
