The suicide bomber sees his death as an hounorable sacrifice and most if not all are happy to die in the name of their God, and there in lies the problem. Religion.
On a interresting sidenote here, I saw a documentary, on Discovery IIRC, where they claimed that most suicide bombers weren't very religious to begin with, they were just rootless and a bit suicidal teens who were fed up with their own situation and the terrorist organizations offered them an alternative. [/QUOTE]Depends on the organisation in question. I stand by my original assesment.
