why you think they're 'clowns' then so we'll all know (since I do not).

I'm guessing if you oppose the choice(s) of tactics (no matter how unusual or 'extreme') of the individual's involved; they're clowns.

I'm pretty sure no one would care if an Islamic priest set himself on fire on the streets of Baghdad or walked the streets of Manhattan in a non-violent manner.

And yet doesn't the fact that we (and many others for years to come) are discussing suicide bombers more or less legitimizes their efforts?

I'm sure those in the extreme Islamic commnunity consider Timothy McVeigh a 'coward' since he ran after lighting his fuse. Had he chose to die on that faithful day in OK, that would make him a martyr (at least in his own select sect).


"MY" whole point (hence the comparisions to MLK and the Monk) is I've never heard of, or read of a suicide bomber being refered to as a 'clown' although I'm sure there are still people left in the World who view (all of the above) them as such.
