Political Staples

There is movement to get the UN to formally condemn suicide bombing as a crime against humanity. My first reaction is, well, duh! Of course it is a crime against humanity. The whole point is to strap yourself with explosives and indiscriminately kill as many people, in a public place, as you can. All talk of asymmetrical warfare can be cast aside, because this is the perfect UN project. The "world community" can condemn attacks, after the fact, with the full weight of a UN resolution, without the possibility of doing anything about it. Just like genocide.
