The suicide bomber seems fairly recent to me. I first became aware of the
tactic with the bombing of the Marine barracks Beirut. Suicide bombings
seem like a desperate, last resort tactic. Sort of like the Kamakazi
pilots
of WW2.

Frank Dresser

Or is it an honor? They are revered like Hollywood stars in some parts of
the middle east. They even have what's like hero trading cards. I learned
this from a show I saw a month or two ago on Sundance where Francis Ford
Coppola did a documentary on the Palestinian/Israel conflict. It was
interesting. I'm trying to remember the name of it?
