#1 "According to our religion, everywhere where Muslims are oppressed, we have to go and help them," said the would-be suicide attacker

Charity begins at home, honey.

#2 Death cult. Because dying as a islamist is preferable to living as one.

#5 "..no bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. You won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country."
-- General George S. Patton

Do high-ranking mullahs ever lead these suicide battalions? Or are they simply too busy with paperwork?

#7 The suicide brigades is an old chestnut from the warring days with Saddam. Throwing bodies worked well for them then.

It's all part of their morbid, loony, psych-opns. Culture of death indeed.

#9 the MM's are afraid to put loaded weapons in the hands of the little people. Never know when they might start thinking for themselves. How many bullets do you think Chavez is distributing to each of his peasant militia....2? 4?

#10 In theory, these guys die for Allah. But in reality, who do they really die for? Charismatic leaders. It's one thing to die for the Ayatollah Khomeini, who was a giant among Shiite clerics, before the clerics ruined Iran's economy. It's quite another thing to die for this nonentity Ahmadinejad. This is a Potemkin battalion, put on show to gull the Western infidel.

#11 Another Radic declaration of war disguised as defense of Islam - China wants only Taiwan [Iran = Israel, etal.] back, ergo it has named beyond-Taiwan island chains in WESTPAC CENTPAC and EASTPAC as part of its present and future scope of influence and power projection vv America, i.e. are future Chinese territories, like 1/2-plus of CONUS-NORAM.
