Suicide Bomber Kills at Least 106 in Iraq This is what I find really incomprehensible about the insurgency in Iraq. Where do these people who are so willing to kill themselves (for what, a return to Baathist rule?) come from??? I can sort of understand a suicide bomber in the Israel-Palestine situation. Some subset of Palestinian kids have grown up in occupied territory his entire life, seen their family killed by Israelis and their homes bulldozed by Israelis, encountered discrimination and humiliation at the hands of the Israeli military, and got indoctrinated for years by the organized hate monger groups in Palestine. I'm not saying the Palestinian suicide bomber has any legitimacy, but at least what produces him is a bit more obvious. But the Iraqi suicide bomber - where does he come from? What makes a kid decide to kill himself and other Muslim Iraqis?

Syria needs to be dealt with.... Arabiya TV Says Threatened Over Syria Broadcast story.news.yahoo.com Sun Feb 27, 4:09 PM ET DUBAI (Reuters) - Arab television Al Arabiya said on Sunday its staff had received death threats from Syrian security bodies over an interview with U.N. chief Kofi Annan (news - web sites) in which he urged Syria to withdraw from Lebanon by April. The Dubai-based Arabic station said the threats accompanied criticism of the channel in the Syrian state-run daily Tishreen, which it described as lies aimed at smearing its image. "Al Arabiya expresses its extreme concern over Tishreen newspaper's method in accusing the television of treachery. This was accompanied with threats directed against a number of our colleagues in Beirut," the television said in a statement faxed to Reuters. A source at the station, referring to Syrian security bodies, said: "There were death threats against Arabiya's staff in Beirut by the Syrians." Syrian officials were not immediately available to comment.
