Did you see MSNBC's "Mind of a Suicide Bomber"? The Palestinian bombers appear to be mostly down-and-out, depressed kids who are approached by manipulative adults who convince them they can make good of themselves and go to heaven (since they obviously failed on earth).

A step down from pimps picking up runaways at a bus station and turning them into drug-addicted prostitutes or porn stars. Except they treat them like stars, taking pictures and making last videos (which can be used to blackmail them to go through with the mission), telling them how their families will be well taken care of, and even staging celebrations afterwards. But their "handlers" don't volunteer for the missions, and one doesn't hear about them recruiting any elderly, does one?

For the Palestinians to allow this to go on shows a brutal disregard for their own humanity.
