Looks to me like the $30K is compensation for the privation the families will endure, having their homes and all their possessions destroyed, and being put out in the street.

While we don't really know for a fact what runs through a young suicide bomber's mind, we can certainly speculate that he is motivated to some extent by the charitable aspects of his endeavor--charity to his family he knows the Saudis will provide. Can anyone say for a certainty that the payments are not incentives?

The simple fact that it is reasonable to speculate that the payments are in fact incentives calls for their elimination. Anything that foments this hideous terror should be proscribed.
