A different way of death

While insurgents have been blowing themselves apart in Israel and Iraq,
a silence has prevailed about what suicide bombing actually involves.
Like hunger strikers, suicide bombers are not necessarily in love with
death. They kill themselves because they can see no other way of
attaining justice; and the fact that they have to do so is part of the
injustice. It is possible to act in a way that makes your death
inevitable without actually desiring it. Those who leapt from the World
Trade Centre to avoid being incinerated were not seeking death, even
though there was no way they could have avoided it.
