I get pissed off that people call them Suicide Bombers they aren't suicide bombers. They are Murder Bombers.

Well technically you can be a "murder bomber" without killing yourself as well. It's just a term of distinction, to indentify the difference between the nut job zealot who's wearing a vest full of comp-B and nails, and the loon who parks a car full on dynamite and does a runner. There is a distinction in my opinion, purely because the bloke with the car did not commit suicide in the act of detonating the device, where as the chap in the rather sporting vest has well and truly redecorated the place with himself.

Why not just call them "suicidal murder bombers"?

We need a word to combine homocidal and suicidal...any suggestions?

Why are we fighting about what the hell we should call them!?!? These are the enemies of all of our nations!! And what? We are friggin argueing about what we should name them. Sorry that just pisses me off.

why are they doing this!!?

So those with the red and green bandanas are going to blow themselves up? look! ladies too! @_@ What a lower deed, how un noble.. what a low life form, rediciusly despicable.. No morals, no dignity.. Gong farmers.

Im sure the duke considers many things to be un-noble...hahaha..

The word "bomber" itself implies the murder of innocents. Mad bomber, anyone? The suicide in front of it just lets people know that these idiots are killing themselves in the process.

There is not a single shred of evidence these people are suicide bombers. Sure, they look like religious wackos, but not suicide bombers. That blogger just took some pictures of these revolutionary guards or whatever they're called, put them on his blog, entitled the entry "suicide bombers" and all of you just fell in line and voiced your contempt for them.

Perhaps the pictures are not of suicide bombers, it makes no difference. We are not making comments about the individuals in the pictures, but of suicide bombers in general, and anyone can see that. Why do you have to be so absolutely argumentive?

And unless I'm mistaken, which is very possible, those bands and insignia are representative of suicide bombers.

I think you're mistaken. When was the last time you heard of a suicide bomber going off in Iran? Or of an Iranian blowing themselves up anywhere?
