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 don't think the bombers themselves consider the "big picture" when it comes to their attacks, though their leaders do. I think they genuinely see it as a means to paradise and religious freedom. My intent isn't to justify the acts, just shift the blame to where it belongs most -- the leadership of these organizations that sponsor the wholesale slaughter of innocents.

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.

Buzzword or not, it is forceable coersion propogated by a hate-spewing education system and terrorist-funded religious organizations. I agree that given a different environment, or at the very least a more objective schooling, I think that these people would turn out to not be suicide bombers. Killing terrorist leaders alone isn't going to do anything until the schools are cleaned up.
