I would use some more empathy and adopt a bit more diplomatic attitude if I were you. There will be suicide bombers well after Arabs go back to being desert nomads. It's not all that expensive to blow yourself up.



Heck, militia groups in the U.S. manage to mount occasional terrorist attacks, and they're generally quite poor. I don't think Timothy McVeigh raised too much funding.

9/11 was estimated to have required ~$400-500k. And I'd say it'd be quite a bit more expensive to repeat that feat these days.


More than a few people have blown themselves up since 9/11.
