beady:
there is no one reason that can be precisely pin pointed for this spread for suicide bombers...you have touched and explored some of them...and there must be more...
i briefly mentioned somewhere that (from the international relations perspective the proliferation of suicide bomber) this is an equalizer...replacing the check and balance of the old world order in the new unipolar world...the rich world has their economy backed with destructive push button annihilation capabilities to sustain their growth and colonization...the third world has neither the economic depth nor do they have a power deterrent at their behest...
result? proliferation of suicide bomber to restore a primitive check and balance in international relations
(of course several questions come to mind: you have some of them yourself...chiefly among them why does this afflict muslims mostly!)
...another interesting perspective on suicide bombers is their utter brainwashing...as a muslim they believe (as recorded in the past and reported by themselves and by journalists who have spent time with them)...they would go to heaven!
...and as a muslim…i sincerely believed they are misguided and would end in a hell!
in another column perhaps you should explore thought reform or brainwashing

digression: In reaching out for some reason why a young adult would radically reject the way which parents had prepared for them to fine a successful (and by their standards, normal) life, parents tended to place the blame upon the group that s/he had joined, and increasingly upon the leader of that group. The several organizations founded in the early 1970s drew upon the literature developed primarily by American Evangelical Christian writers that referred to the new religions as "cults." (1) Through the early 1970s, they began to seek the assistance of law enforcement agencies and various professionals, primarily mental health professionals, to intervene in the life of the new believers. Police and courts were generally unable to assist parents whose child had joined a cult, a "cult" being defined as it was in Evangelical literature merely by its espousal of a radically different set of beliefs. The situation changed in the late 1970s largely as a result of (a) the discovery of involuntary deprogramming as a technique that had some positive results in persuading members to drop their affiliations to new religions, (b) the emergence of the concept of brainwashing in the trial of millionaire heiress Patty Hearst, and (c) the death of some 900 people at Jonestown.
First, the original parental groups found a major ally in the person of Theodore "Ted" Patrick who stumbled upon the process of deprogramming after being alerted to the dangers of cults when one of his relatives became briefly associated with the Children of God. In 1976 he authored a popular volume, Let Our Children Go,(2) describing his kidnapping of several people and the application of various forms of physical and emotional stress in an attempt to force them to sever their relationship to the group, be it the Unification Church, the Hare Krishna, The Divine Light Mission of Guru Maharaj Ji, or one of the several new Evangelical Christian groups.
