Re: Allow me to play devils advocate for a minute

Kamakazes are nuthin new. Martyrs are spoke of i the oldest book.They're just not as informed, and aren't the brightest lamps in the rtoom to begin with.
All it takes is the IDEA that your death is a good cause for humanity, and most would strap the bomb on.
These are the same ones who would risk death to save the lives others...Like those who inlist in US Armed forces, or become cops or paramedics.
It's in who pieds yer pipe.

Let's not forget the difference between invading to take over a country and invading to help start a free government and cleans it of the old murderer type.

The French underground and other insurgents were to get their own government back. Hitler invaded to take over and keep. We are helping start a new government so we can get the hell out of there when it is firmly in place.

The religous zealots who are killing themselves would still be doing the same even if we weren't there. They would just find somebody else to kill. They have been doing it for thousands of years.
