The bombs that walk and talk

Amir Taheri reviews My Life is a Weapon: A Modern History of Suicide Bombing by Christoph Reuter:

“The real issue is whether or not those targeted by suicide-killings are prepared to retaliate with a higher degree of violence that would reverse the cost-benefit ratio in their favour and thus persuade their foes to abandon the human body as a weapon.

Reuter poses this crucial question in an intelligent way. But he provides no answer.” (Telegraph.UK )
