That's horse$hit. The people strap on bombs because it's their last line of defence against brutal oppression, occupation and genocide - not because they happen to like death. What an amazing piece of psy-ops propaganda. I'm always interested in hearing from Al-Qaida spokesmen since Al-Quida is a complete invention of the CIA as everyone in the middle east knows, and even senior CIA people are coming forward to admit.
I'd like to think that if tanks started rolling against disarmed Americans from a foreign power that many of us would resist to the death, even if means suicide attacks against the enemy. And we wouldn't do it because our culture "loves death" but rather for the same reason the Palestinians, Iraquis and other brutally oppressed people in the middle east do. Best popularized by the saying "Give me liberty or give me death!"
