And we wonder how Islamist terrorists became brave as well as foolish enough to take their own lives as well as those of their victims.
After all, there were many practitioners of this deadly art that went before them: The Japanese samurai warriors and kamikaze pilots who did it for their emperor. The Palestinian suicide kidnappers who did it to preserve their lands. The Irish Republican Army who did it to get rid of the British Army and their Protestant sympathizers in Northern Ireland. The Tamil Tigers who swallowed cyanide pills, exploded their vests while embracing Indian Army officers, blowing themselves up in city crowds and among rival Tamil groups just do they could carve out their own state. And now we have killers of the Taliban and Islamic State who have countless reasons for doing it: Killing other Muslims like Shias and Yazidis. Revenge on American invaders. Getting rid of Arab despots. Turning the Middle East into an Islamist Caliphate Or Just because of prolonged constipation. Who knows.
