Amir Taheri says,

Suicide-killing is never an individual decision. It needs a context of real or imagined war. It needs recruitment, training, information, espionage, surveillance, logistics, material, propaganda, and, of course, financial resources. It also needs political leaders who order suicide-killings in the context of specific strategies...

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.

I'm afraid the answer to "the real issue" he raises is "No".
