Coppola piece, but honor makes as much sense as any other
explaination.

I think there's alot of risk for the terrorists in playing the suicide
bomber card. The Osama bin Ladens now have to prove that God is really on
their side. Even the numbnuts of the Islamic world will want to see some
signs of success. They've had a few, like the American pullout from
Beirut
and the Spanish election, but they will have to keep the ball rolling.
This
Islamic terrorist threat could hang on for a long time, but I'm sure that
when the terrorist leaders have nothing to show but failure for years,
they
will have a hard time convining anyone that they are truely speaking for
God.

It'll also help if we don't make life easy for their recruiters.

You may be right. I have thought that myself. Plus the worlds getting
smaller and the words out just how nice us Americans live. It will get
contagious in time and we don't have the room so they will have to make
their own free little democracies with MTV and microwaves.
