This kind of insidious, internecene warfare is the direct result of total military dominance by the west. I am not defending suicide bombers, but the reality is that this is a response to our strength. They are applying asymmetrical strategies to the problem that they cannot fight an invading army by using tanks and planes. The Vietnamese had it easy - they had a jungle to run to and operate their guerilla war from. The Iraqis have little choice due to the terrain than to hide among the population - we are witnessing the template for all future urban wars.
