#1 Proper response for this is "an eye for an eye." Every time an Iranian boomer kills a Westerner, a B-2 should deposit a 2,000 pound JDAM on a mullah or ayatollah. Even though people from that part of the world aren't well versed in cause and effect, the message should begin to seep through after the fourth or fifth vaporized mullah.

#5 That suicide training must be hard on the HR dept. "Ali, next time pull the ripcord a little slower, ok? Ali? oops. Next in line please."

#6 Y'all miss the good points of this "Recruiting"

All we have to do is locate and vaporize the "Training Camp"

Even the name is appropriate, "The Lovers Of Martyrdom" surely can't complain about being successfully "Martyred"

#7 This is nothing new. MEMI has been reporting open suicide bomber recruitment for at least since March '03.

#8 It's more likely that these fanatical volunteers will be used against internal enemies. Not necessarily as suicide bombers, but as true believers who will do anything for the cause.

Likely they'll be integrated into the Baseej (volunteers) that are technically under the control of the Revolutionary Guards. Both the Iranian armed forces and the IRGC have drawn the line at quelling civil disorder and uprisings. So the clerics are looking to the ultra-fanatics in the Baseej.

#9 Never mind that several of the Islam's greatest kings of antiquity, includ Osama's fav Saladin, forbade or frowned on suicide, espec amongst their armies. Radical Islam's "Army of God/Lions of Jihad" will never be anything more than a bloody nuisance because the army's warriors blow themselves to bits. Radical Islam = Communism = wastes or its available or potential manpower - they have to dev or acquire WMDS/Nukes in order to compensate for the self-destruction of warfighting males, regardless of any war ags America. Radical Islam = Communists' "war/battle zone" strategems emphasis on POLITICAL VICTORY = getting America, etal. to justify their own existence and actions, as oppos to justification caused in and for themselves. WE SHOULD ASK LIBERAL ACADEMIA WHETHER THERE IS SUCH A THING AS "THIRD PARTY-BASED MANIFEST DESTINY" IN THE 21st CENTURY, ala "HELP ME SAVE OR JUSTIFY MYSELF, BUT I STILL GET TO KILL YOU NOW = LATER!?
