Suicide bombing is an intentional act of killing and destruction of oneself and one's
own interest with any means possible. It has also become a most
unreasonable way but effective weapon by a specific and particular runaway group
of Muslim terrorists in attacking its enemies. The topic 'DISSECTING THE SUICIDE
BOMBER' is a simplistic approach of the anatomy of the various elements,
structure, positions and interrelationship of a suicide bomber with other groups
of people or nations of different culture and religion.

Growing
up as a young kid in the Philippines I heard of the Muslim
people in the southern island of Mindanao. In those days, we don't have
neighborhood playgrounds like what we have here in America. So, me and my
playmates would just play games like 'Hide and
Seek', hopscotch and "sipa' (kick) in the street in front of
our houses. We were the children of the street. We'd play from late
morning till late afternoon and sometimes up to 9 or 10 pm in the evening.
Whenever my mother had enough of it, she'd scare and yell at us children
there's a Muslim running amok in the neighborhood. We'd then go inside the
house and play in the watchful eyes of my mother. It was my first
introduction to people of different faith. Those were the days - I did not
do anything but play. In later years, it's always a bold newspaper
headline whenever a Filipino Muslim had RUN AMOK! or in our lingo
'Huramentado' (Juramentado en Espanol). I learned also
that Muslims don't eat pigs for they are considered unclean and dirty. I
learned that in strict Muslim tradition and culture, women are second class
citizens in that they must always walk behind Muslim men.

Coming to America, I had more exposure to suicide bombing in watching Hollywood movies of
WWII like Tora Tora Tora, Pearl Harbor and other old
war films in PBS documentaries. www.pbs.org The Japanese Kamikaze (God
Wind) pilots were trained to make a suicidal crash and attacked in planes loaded
with explosives. America put a stop to the war and the bleeding by
Machiavellian shock and awe of dropping the atomic bombs in Hiroshima and
Nagasaki. Will America once again have the guts and balls to drop bombs on
Muslim mosques of Fallujah where terrorists and weapons such as RPGs, guns and
mines are hidden in the basement and underground tunnels? America can
always excuse its act in bombing these safe havens to the world community by
saying we have to save more death of our troops. The Korean War cut into
the boundary of the 38th Parallel, Cold War between Russia and the Free World
blew in and the Vietnam War and Hippie Generation followed. In
between the decades of Me Generation and X-Generation, there is the
Israeli Arab conflict going on and up to this day in the Middle East and the
Persian Gulf War. After the year 2000, Israel and Palestine are back to
fighting after a short truce. Suicide bombers were on the increase, day by
day. Saddam Hussein of Iraq gave incentive to the Palestinians by giving
money to Muslim foundations and an offering of $25,000 to would be suicide
bombers to kill Jews. Muslim children are taught by Mullahs in
Arab schools the Islamic religion and daily reading of the Koran. Islam is
based on the practice of submission to Allah. Five times a day Muslims all
over the world face East and pray. Their fatua (fate) is the
belief of being welcomed by 72 virgins for good deeds accomplished here on
earth. Some of these Arab and Egyptian children grew up out of this
monotheistic religion, secretly planned and committed suicide by blowing
up the Twin Towers to million tiny pieces and the Pentagon using basic
means and airplanes. They had training camps in Yemen, Somalia, Nigeria,
Africa, Pakistan and Afghanistan. It turned out there were (or are)
terrorist networks all over the world - ten or so years in the making. The
suicide bombers in Moscow and Beslan were another instances of their beliefs
and intentions and sacrificial submission to Allah. Good or bad - it
depends on who's side you're on. It only takes a few bad Muslims to
destroy the belief of many that Islam is a religion of peace.

America
was blindsided. The policy of diplomatic
appeasement by the Clinton Administration was a horrendous failure. I
equate the 3,000 innocent people that died in the 9/11 Tragedy to the 3,000 U.S.
soldiers that would have died if Bill Clinton went on the offensive and
eliminated Osama bin Laden and other terrorists during the attacks of the World
Trade Center in 1993, the American embassies in Africa and the US Navy ship USS
Cole. Maybe fewer people would have died. Who knows? Clinton
and the Democrats did not have the vision and the strong character for a
pre-empted war. It turned out a man of destiny by the name of George
W. Bush was waiting under the eagle's wing of freedom and democracy. The
Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry don't have the impalpable
conviction to carry the United States to victory over the war on terror and in
Iraq and Afghanistan. After returning from the Vietnam War, instead of
planning with the government (the phrase 'I have a plan' was not in his
vocabulary then) on how to win the war - he hindered it by attacking and
accusing his fellow soldiers of unspeakable atrocities. As a private
citizen, I, also have a plan and solution on the war in Iraq.

The Great Wall of
China is the eight wonder of the world. The construction of the
Great Wall began in the 3rd Century B.C. It is approximately 1,500 miles
(2,400 km) long. The Great Wall was built to protect the people against
raids by nomadic peoples and invasions by rival provinces. The Israelis
built a wall amidst the protests of the United Nations and Human Rights
Organizations but it was effective and saved a lot of people including
innocent children. In order for the US military in Iraq to prevent Muslim
militants from sneaking in, it must build a fortified wall beyond the Green
Zone of Baghdad and expand to a bigger area. Physical walls can be broken
through no matter how strong or high they are. That's why physical presence of
US and coalition troops are equally important. Politicians, generals and
even some of my own family members are saying we should have such and
such numbers of soldiers in the beginning of the war and post war. I
totally disagree. With good intelligence planning and smart weapons, I
believe in small or enough troops wiping and eliminating the terrorists
including the killing of the most wanted terrorist of the moment -
Zarqawi. The US military and the Iraqi police must build a wall or barrier
around insurgents stronghold like Fallujah and corner the terrorists if the
mosques where they are hiding are not to be bombed.

The world is one big
dysfunctional family. Strangers we may be, but with all our
differences - we have something in common with suicide bombers - and that is, we
are just passing by in this world and God is waiting for us up there, atheists
excluded.

Blame the sin not
the sinner. We are all sinners and the sin is HATE. Hate is temporary and
there are three things that are everlasting: Faith, Hope and the greatest of
them all is LOVE.

Love keeps no score of wrongs;
does not gloat over another's sins,
but delights in truth.
There is nothing love cannot face;
there is no limit to its faith, its hope,
and
its endurance.

Dear ALTPRES: Aren't you glad you were not born a Muslim? For a super-independent woman, it would be extremely hard for you to live in the Middle East. I say...you're the boss!
