If only all the people making these claims would also admit their ignorance, we would be a lot better off.<BR/><BR/>Instead, most trouble is caused by those who claim to know truth and facts that are twisted to support their viewpoint.<BR/><BR/>That's my point.<BR/><BR/>YehudaYehuda Berlingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16038826060312027387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9319479.post-4046801479918770812007-02-13T15:44:00.000+02:002007-02-13T15:44:00.000+02:00i think that you raise some interesting points how...i think that you raise some interesting points however in regards to your questions about suicide bombing i think that you can find answers in a number of recentlyl writen books such as 'making sense of suicide missions by diego gambetta and 'dying to win' by robert pape. these are 2 of the leading authors on the matter and both agree that sucide bombing is not undertaken by the sterotypical poor and uneducated person. in fact they tend to be middle class. the tamil tigers in sri lanka have committed the most suicide attacks and although they stem from a hindu baackground they adhere to a leninist ideology which is atheist. the same cannot be said for the september 11th hijackers who said they did it in the name of allah. however, if you look at history sucide bombing is usually undertaken as a form of resistence because it works (lebanon 1983) and is usually done over territory. i thinkthat you raise some good points but many of them are based on ignorance and perhaps if you did some unbiased reading (don't look at only american articles) you might find some of your answers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
