How I see the suicide murderers.

I see than as working from the same motivations as the Buddist monks that used to burn themselves alive during the Vietnam war. They were idealists, protesting in keeping with their beliefs. The monks didn't believe in taking the lives of others, the suicide bombers aren't so inhibited.
I just watched "Death in Gaza" on HBO. For a youth growing up in such a hellhole, with no experience to guide him and no future ahead of him, becoming a suicide bomber may seem a valid option. With a little egging on from his fellow malcontents, it's not such a leap. After an Israeli tank has flattened your house - what do you do?
