Image of Terrorism

So, in this view, terrorism is civilian on civilian and/or civilian on military.

However, if military on civilian, it's a war crime or oppression.

Hmmm. Shouldn't they be treated the same, then?

The Stupid Department: Bikers blow selves up

Suicide bombers aren't the sharpes tools in the shed, are they? After all, they're a dime a dozen, success only occurs if they die (kind of like the male black widow), and they usually miss.

These Pakistani idiots strapped bombs to themselves, rode their bikes toward the target, but blew themselves up before they reached it.

What's the payoff for these dangerous clowns? I know, it's the 70 virgins or whatever. First, virgins aren't all they're cracked up to be: They have no experience. It's like getting a hooker on her very first night, only worse because you'll probably see her again. Second, why 70? Why not 100? 500? These guys have set the bar pretty low if you ask me. For if you commit these attacks, and you go to heaven and meet Allah, there's no time limit, you live forever, and there's no disease. So why wouldn't you want 100000 free hookers?

I just don't get it. What I do get, however, is that sex is a hell of a motivator: Sex sells. It's just not worth killing myself. So I guess the bottom line, and you already knew this, is that these crackerjacks have nothing to live for (they can't get virgins while alive) so they kill themselves and others as a "bonus."

Gee, thanks.

What would you do with $340 Billion?

George Bush would spend it. On an unwinnable war.

And then ask for more. He's got 2 full years left to spend a lot of money that's not his own.

He exhibited this type of behavior before he was President, too. He just didn't spend so much. More here.
