Interesting article on suicide attacks

[Proletariat]

I don't give a hoot what Pape advocates.

Why'd you post it?

I think his analysis of suicide-bombing is a hell of a lot more relevant than much of what I have seen elsewhere, and so far no one here has shot a hole in it.

When I asked a question concerning the premise, I was condescended to.

Is it really news to anybody...

And it might help people help understand why Iraqi's aren't cheering their liberators but fighting them, even if they lose their lives in bomb attacks. Do you have an alternative explanation apart from helpless oneliners about psychopaths and flushed Qurans?

I still maintain what I argued (with myself) here.

It's a systemic problem with a whole culture.
