1. You know this how? I could, with as far as I know
an equal knowledge base, pronounce, they are
expression of desperation and rage by people so
oppressed and ground down that they feel that life is
not worth living, and who seek to daamge their
prerceived oppressors any way they can.

2. Even if you are right about the specufic aims of
most suicide bombers, that does not mean that the
bombers will not, despute themselves, further the
goals you mention rather than their express goals. I
think the tactic is wrong even if it has or will
further good goals.
