Palestinians and "desperation"

http://slate.msn.com/?id=2065703

Summary: an opinion piece that says suicide bombers don't bomb out of desperation (for lack of their own homeland), but out of hope (that Israel can be destroyed). The opinion that it's out of desperation is widely repeated because it's intellectually convenient.

(And I said it here first. Patting my own back)
