Historically, those who use suicidal attacks as an offensive weapon have lost. In every war. In all of recorded history. All of them. The only reason anyone would choose it with its .000 success rate is because they are ignorant of history. Let's ask Japanese college graduates to name the entire list of kamikaze pilots that they know of. I'll bet we find that suicide attackers not only represent the losing side of every war that has 'em, but they are quickly forgotten, as well. And never, ever, ever have the leaders who support them chosen to use a suicide attack with themselves doing the attack. A complete failure of a weapon used by forgotten martyrs duped by leaders who never practice what they preach. There can be no greater fool than the man or woman who chooses to be everybody's fool. They should be mocked. Send 72 Barbie dolls to their families to play with. Build a monument of Barbie dolls glued together, 72 at a time, to stand as a visible mockery of the intellect of the International Order of Sissy Loserhood.
