the comment from an official from the japanese foreign affairs ministry tonight on tv: they are using _terrorist_ tactics (psychological warfare etc) hearing him you'd wonder whether he thinks iraki have the right to defend themselves... he made them sound like the cowards who don't want to face their destiny...

-Yes, and this came from a country who pionereed the use of suicide -attacks as the last resort in a lost war (which was btw, a very -rational strategy because kamikaze pilots would be killed anyway -if sent on conventional attack missions, but withouth inflicting -any damage on the enemy). From my point, suicide attacks are -reasonable, from a military point of view, if you are totally -outgunned in the battlefield.
