Of course, a suicide bomber is HIGHLY motivated, and I'd say most of them are not insane.
Its the motivation, the indoctrination, the social pressures that create them, that let them do what to those outside look like insane actions.
Thats really the difference between a terrorist and some wacky shooter like this.
A wacky shooter is more like a force of nature. Its someone defective, someone who for whatever reason has lost their grip. A terrorist is not insane, but guided with malicious intent.
