In the "war on terror," our signature weapon the laser-guided missle, theirs the suicide bomber. And with every missle launched, new recruits for suicide missions are created. The more missles, the more suicide bombers.
Can we kill all, or enough, of the suicide bombers to claim victory? There were a finite number of kamikaze pilots in WWII. Eventually we could kill them all. But is there a finite number of suicide bombers? Or is there a queue of them stretching out to the vanishing point? An endless succession?
What cold blooded questioning war demands. News this morning of a Iraqi man screaming for help while his wife and two children burned to death in their bombed car. This while the sympathetic gaze of America is focussed on the jilted Jennifer Aniston.
