If you think only military targets were attacked in WW2 or by the Japanese, you are foolish. Merchant ships were also targeted and destroyed and the Kamikaze pilots were only one of a number of Japanese suicide fighting schemes.  The mentality was quite similar: it is better to die then live as a coward.


All war targets civilians - even if only peripherally.  It's the nature of war and the vast majority of suicide bombings are occuring in regions of unresolved warfare: Israel, Palestine, Iraq, Afghanistan, Lebanon etc.


The "vast majority"?  Seems like if that were the case there would be many many more suicide bombers.  Yet, in relation to population - they are very few in number.  They seem like more because they catch the media's attention far more then the dull ordinary activities of most of the people.
