Suicide bombers?

okay so this might not fit in politics but it's as close as i can get.

what is the deal with -suicide- bombers? why not just -regular- bombings? if the goal is to kill infidels, why not just get on that bus, leave a backpack with a -timer- in it, and go. that way you can bomb even -more- infidels later. maybe even rack up a few more virgins in heaven. is there some particular reason for it?

Sigh, Maher is such a dumbfuck sometimes.

It is cowardly to blow up defenseless people.
It is smart, although not cost effective, to blow up armed militiamen using cruise missiles.
