Suicide bombing, the act of killing one's self, is horrible yet very commonplace in some parts of the world. Almost every day you hear about some young Palestinian going into an Israeli restaurant or bus with a backpack of explosives and setting them off. In the end the collateral damage is usually very bad. Its not a new thing either, before Moslems used it against Israel, the biggest use of the suicide bomber was in the Pacific Ocean and done by the Japanese.
Japanese Kamikaze
By 1945, the Japanese realized that their Navy, while powerful, wasn’t good enough to beat the U.S. Aware that they were losing the war; they started looking for a way to turn the tide. They noticed that when a plane accidentally crashed into a ship it caused much more damage then a bunch of planes using machine guns. It was decided that they could use that knowledge to load planes with heavy explosives and purposely drive them into the U.S. Carriers and Battleships. Remembering how a major typhoon, later named kamikaze or Divine wind, saved their country from attack by the Mongols years ago, they revived the term and used it for the suicide missions.
