<<. It's actually very difficult to give people lives they don't want to throw away as suicide bombers>>

Especially if you whip them into a Jew-hating frenzy from the time of their tothood, and convince them they will be glorified, and go to Paradise, and also get to make their families proud and rich. That isn't "throwing their lives away" to them! It's what they're conditioned to do, manipulated to do, trained to do, paid well to do, and therefore want to do. Who doesn't like fame, glory, wealth for their proud loved ones, and Paradisical bliss including high-bosomed virgins, two each, of whom no man has opened their hymens with sexual intercourse before?

The policy of terror and mass murder, especially as practiced by the mass-murdering Osama Bin Laden faction, is hardly a function of the maddening experience of living under Israeli occupation-- Bin Laden is a privileged member of the Saudi Arabian economic and political elite with an Islamic bug up his ass. He's an operator with an agenda, Islamic hegemony.

I have the impression that this is the argument we had earlier, and that you are echoing the sentiments of the lawyer I quoted this afternoon.
