I feel the same way about drunk drivers. If they centerpunch a pole and not an oncoming car, that's their problem.

no one that I know of is complaining that they are killing themselves

it's the innocents they take with them that is at issue


Then you might want to call them "terrorists" rather than "suicide bombers," which is a misnomer. Not all terrorists are suicide bombers and not all suicide bombers are terrorists and suicide would seem to be irrelevant to your real concern. Terrorists, IMO, are despicable--and I think you would agree--but suicide bombers could well be noble depending on what they were bombing. A suicide bomber who destroyed a hidden WMD lab would be considered a hero.
