It is astonishing how, after all this time, and after so much "experience" with suicide bombers and religious fundamnentalists, there is so much misunderstanding and ignorance about their motives, their way of thinking and how to deal with 'em, in general.

It's one thing to promote suicide bombing by promising to whomever will blow himself up that his family will be compensated for --- and quite another thing to simply take care of a family after the event

They are the SAME thing once potential bombers know that will happen.

In other words, the crucial question for a potential suicidal guy, someone who is not so sure if he wants to blow himself up, is what will happen to his family afterwards?

And that fellow knows that the Red Cross or the Red Crescent or the U.N., that someone eventually WILL take care of his family, then this makes him pull the trigger ??

Alright. Then I suppose the thing to do is to forbid anyone from helping the families of suicide bombers!

Or, even better, to punish all the surviving family! How about that?
