	And a foolish one given that the link between 'muslim' and 
'suicide bomber' is nowhere near as strong as is generally believed.
	Plus I have no idea why 'suicide bomber' should be seen as 
more evil than 'bomber'. Was McVeigh less evil because he wasn't 
killed in his bomb blast? The Unabomber? The IRA?
	If there are people who really claim that these attacks are 
somehow less evil because they didn't involved suicide, there is some 
sort of moral judgement here that misses the point in a way thats 
both repellant and retarded.
