Great. I didn't know that.

No doubt the charming and generous governments of Arabia and Iraq are only too pleased to support 'troops' who will strike, untraceably, where they dare not... and of course they're only providing charity as one good Muslim should do to aid a family that's had such a tragic loss...

Thanks. That's a worthwhile and really unpleasant look into the mindset over there... just give the children an extra 'non-selfish' rationale before they die. Not only do they go to Paradise and kill the hated enemy but they help their families too. And of course if there's massive unemployment and too little food the same meagre payments look even better.

So. How can a civilised, modern Western democracy remove this mindset?
Of course, there will now be even less hope for the Palestinians at it will be seen as 'giving in to terrorism' to look at any of their demands (even if they weren't behind this). And who cares if it might work??
