Some research on your part will show that Hussein paid money to the Palestinian familes of successful (ie., dead) suicide bombers as a form of twisted (no pun intended) compensation.

Extremely successful. Understand that the IDF stops dozens of suicide attempts every week in protecting their citizens. They're in a fight for their lives. If they gave up for one day, the barbarian hordes would invade and suicide bomb them all to death.

Yes, no more religious fanatics flying jets laden with jet fuel into crowded skyscrapers, please. They had their turn, now its our turn for a little while.

The type of terrorism being referenced here is low-grade pinpricks compared to 9/11, and I would add the outrageous school massacre in Russia to the list now. Another example of how terrorism can alter the course of a country. This war against fundamentalist lunatics is no joke.
