    Components that seem to be part of making a suicide bomber:

    1. Part of a political organization
    2. Resisting an occupying democratic force
    3. Father was humiliated by an opposing soldier as a child
    4. More intelligent, well educated, psychologically stable, and well-to-do than average

    I find it curious how specific #3 is, and how #4 is against all our “ideas” of what a suicide bomber is.

    Also curious is that religious fundamentalism and suicidal tendancies are not indicators.
