Peace Activist Goes "BOOM!"

I am really starting to think that the bomber who blew up Mike's Place was working on someone else's orders. We'll know for sure when they find his wannabe-a-bomber friend and have a chance to politely question him.

I'm not terribly surprised that the bombers would disguise themselves as "peace protestors." They full well understood that being a peace protestor relieved them of having to meet normal expectations of civilized conduct. As a protestor they could obstruct, plot, and destroy property without much, if any, retribution. After all, they were supporting the noble cause of Palestinian statehood.

It also gave them a chance to acquire the parts of the explosive devices without any real suspicion falling on them. Being British would have also allowed them some more freedoms than if they had been residents of Gaza City.

Along the promenade, they could have escaped much suspicion by speaking English. No one would have looked twice at two men speaking with an English accent - even if they did look Palestinian. There is a certain degree of racial profiling in Israel. These guys wouldn't have been all too suspicious.

At least not until they tried to force their way into Mike's Place. Then one "peace activist" blows himself up while the other runs away when he discovers he is a dud in more ways than one.

Both of the men involved attended the university in Damascus. Damascus is known, of course, for its amazing ability to convert people. And those who fail to convert on the road to Damascus are now converted and indoctrinated by that peace loving organization, Hizbollah.

Things are just adding up too funny here. Two bombers who are British. They both attended school in Damascus. The bombing happens hours after Abu Mazan vows to end terrorism. The peace organizations like Hizbollah, the Al Asqa Martyr's Brigade, and the militant components of the Palestinian Authority needed a miracle to justify the continuance of the intifada. A third party national who blows himself would be just perfect if it led to retribution against Palestinians living in the territories. And praise be to Allah, they got not one, but two.

They say the road to hell is paved in good intentions. I hope that our road map to peace isn't paved in the blood of a thousand (or more) stupicide bombers.
