INSIDE THE MIND OF A SUICIDE BOMBER

Looking Inside the Mind of a Suicide Bomber - Paul Goodman (MSNBC)
Anat Berko, 44, with a Ph.D in criminology, spent the last eight years in the IDF interviewing Palestinian suicide bombers, men and women who had made the decision to enter paradise and take as many Israeli civilians and soldiers with them as possible. Since January 2002 there have been seven terror acts by female suicide bombers. At least 20 more women were caught on their way or at the time of training. Most were in their twenties, and single. Berko indicates that the social changes going on in the Arab world are a clue to what motivates some suicide bombings. The Internet and television play a huge role in Arab family lives. All the Western channels are accessible, but at the same time everything in Arab society is so confined and closed. It is extremely difficult to watch all this, and yet to live another life in reality.

YEP. IT'S ALL THOSE ADVERTISEMENTS FOR HAMBURGERS AND BUD LITE THAT ARE CAUSING YOUNG ARABS TO BLOW THEMSELVES UP.
