	Suicide Attack
		The narrator quotes Lieutenant General Kawabe, one of the leaders of the Army's kamikaze attacks in the Philippines and Okinawa, in his explanation of why he did not consider a kamikaze attack to be the same as a suicide attack:
		During this suicidal attack on the night of May 24-25, 1945, one plane succeeded in landing, and ten Army soldiers came out of the plane to destroy 9 planes and damage 26 before U.S. Marines killed them (O'Neill 1999, 234-5).
		Suicide Attack contains some outstanding Japanese wartime newsreels, including several extended ones, but the rest of this documentary is definitely not worth the effort.

	The Suicide Attack Phenomenon
		The effectiveness of suicide attacks is derived from the ability of the perpetrator, more often than not, to choose the precise time and place of attack, causing numerous casualties and damage to the innocent and provides public exposure to the terrorists’ cause.
		Suicide attacks became the most favored method of terror by terrorists groups and were adopted in many parts of the world, such as Kashmir, Indonesia, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Chechnya, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Kenya, and Tanzania and up to the most disastrous terrorist attacks in history, on September 11th 2001.
		The suicide attacks phenomenon is multifaceted: once the suicide bomber is mentally ready for the mission, he can be equipped with an explosive belt, a handbag or a backpack; he can drive a car or a truck, or use an aircraft or a vessel to ram the desired target.

	The Review - The Ultimate Weapon?
		Suicide attacks, like all other terrorist attacks, are first and foremost aimed at giving their perpetrators widespread media coverage, thereby inflating their own image.
		If the suicide bomber has already been dispatched to the intended target, everything must be done by the security forces, as well as mobile and stationary technical devices, to try and minimise the physical damage of the attack by keeping the attacker away from enclosed and crowded areas.
		Countering suicide attacks, both in Israel and in the rest of the world over the years, has taught us that suicide terrorism is not a winning strategy, and must not be treated as such; we must not give its perpetrators a decisive capability which they don’t actually have.

	Suicide Bombers
		The other main problem is that you get one shot with a suicide bomber; and since the type of person who commits themselves to a one-way mission for a vague sense of glory and responsibility isn't usually the sharpest fork in the drawer, you can actually have semi-hilarious situations (overlooking the dead for a moment).
		In August of 2001, a suicide bomber sitting in a coffee house hit on the waitress, finally lifting his shirt and showing his explosives to get her attention.
		There was a movement recently to rename suicide bombers "homicide bombers"; this kind of thinking betrays the suckiness of our modern times, where we've equated minor word-games with solving the problem.
