Suicide bombers

Upon reading that I realized James was right. At least as far as the several dozen bad people I knew. And clearly he is right about suicide bombers. Else why would they give up their lives? Surely not just for the 72 virgins. They must have felt that what they were doing was morally right. And that includes the 911 hijackers. (I often think we would have a better chance in the mid east if we would acknowledge this fact rather than simply call them evil criminals. But that is for another thread.)

What type of people are these suicide bombers? Most suicide bombers are not the evil scum of the earth that we think they are. They are normally well educated. And well off. Additionaly, suicide bombings only occur when land that is precieved to be thiers, is being occupied by foreign powers. This is not a secret yet from how often it is acknowledged you would think it was. Does this make suicide bombers not as evil as you thought they where?
