Homicide Bombers
I have to laugh when the repukes call the suicide bombers 'homicide bombers'. Anyone trying to kill others with a bomb could fall under the category of homicide bomber (or just plain bomber). The term suicide bomber is used to differentiate the unique nature of a person willing to give up their lives to kill others.

Dumb motherfuckers those freepers are!

2. If they had "laser guided munitions" it would be okay I guess...
Technology has allowed the US military to avoid having to use the same tactics.

I would assume if the insurgents had the technological weapons that are available to the US and UK militaries, they'd use them.

The "homicide bomber" - "suicide bomber" whatever you want to call them, are THEIR "guided missles"

3. suicide bombers - report on npr this am
1) very effective
2) bombers tend to be middle-class well educated and SANE
3) bombers generally are not religiously motivated

Kind of different than the media picture, huh? This was based on a statistical analysis of 300 or so suicide bombings from 2000-2003.

Faux nudes and their ilk are trying to change the language because when you start looking at the motivation and dedication and determination of suicide bombers you start asking questions like 'why', and that just opens a whole can of worms they prefer to keep shut.
