I read an article in Scientific American where a criminal psychologist profiled suicide bombers. They weren't poor, under-priveleged, unintelligent, or overly-religious. They were generally upper middle-class, well-educated, and politically active. Basically, the equivelant of, in this country, a loud-mouth jackass carrying a picket sign in front of the news cameras. Only the picket sign is a bomb, and the news outlet is the entire planet.
