The Suicide Bombers Among Us / City Journal Autumn 2005

Theodore Dalrymple
"All terrorists, presumably, know the dangers that they run, accepting them as an occupational hazard; given Man's psychological makeup - or at least the psychological makeup of certain young men - these dangers may act as an attraction, not a deterrent. But only a few terrorists use their own deaths as an integral means of terrorizing others. They seem to be a breed apart, with whom the rest of humanity can have little or nothing in common."
