I disagree, if anything it would make them more likely to continue their campaign. (Also I might just point out that anyone detonating a dirty nuke in Auckland is most likely to be a suicide bomber anyway. They have to manufacture the thing, which probably gives them a lethal dose of radiation for starters, and then make sure it detonates, which can be tricky - it could just melt down if you get it wrong. It's most reliably done from close range, so if you trigger it and survive, you know you have to try again. Which makes it an interesting process if quantum suicide is a reality...) You need to look at the psychology of martyrdom and suicide bombers a bit more closely. Its not your values, its theirs. People can be vastly different. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
