TEXT:  "But there's little he [Chairperson Weaselmouth] or anyoneelse can do to stop a bomber bent on martyrdom."

COMMENT:  Apart from closing down his bomb-store?

ANALYSIS:  This is the present media-myth, which plays into thedominant political line that the PLO is doing the best it can tocontain terrorism, so the piece process must continue.

It overlooks, for starters, the possiblity that 'suicide bombers'have been coereced into the role; and that their bombs, whichpresumably are terrorist state-of-the-art, and so presuppose avery well-funded and knowlegable supporting organization(evidenced by the well-orchestrated demonstrations and publicitywhich accompany such murders), are detonated by remote control.
