re:You have provided evidence that Saddam paid surviving families the 25K but have provided no evidence that the money was the motivating factor

The Saudis not only provided MOST of the 9/11 terrorists, including their leader Bin Laden, but run telethons (ala Jerry Lewis) to raise money for the families of the Palestinian "martyr" bombers. Why didn't we attack them, instead of letting them fly all the Bin Ladens out of the country when no other Americans could fly? Raising money for the Palestinian "martyrs" is done all over the world, including here.

You're missing the point.....some parents say they are proud of their martyred children and it is imperative that potential martyr's receive the brain washing starting at a young age....but I have yet to see that a parent tries to convince his child soley for the money....the bomber may take some comfort that his parents will be taken care of but they, of course, but the bomber himself will benefit not at all from the money.
