I think suicide bombers have "reason and forethough" which is why they continue to terrorize innocents. It has proven to be an effective tool to garner international attention.
I know the media religiously states these people are brainwashed, but I think that is a generalized overused buzzword. I think more appropriately, these people are products of their environment which unfortunately has devolved a segment of their culture over time. I think to brainwash insists that a mindset has been altered. The mindset of these people has not been altered, but rather reinforced since birth to take them down the path of destruction. Otherwise we would label them as psychotic.
