Don't know if his mother is proud but the family is now $30,000 richer. $10,000 from Arafat and $20,000 from Saddam Hussein.

And that's not all. The Saudis kick in some, the Red Crescent (part of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent) kick in a monthly stipend of $150 a month until the youngest child in the house reaches the age of majority, etc. etc. etc.

Oh, don't forget the American Red Cross pays dues to the International Red Cross and Red Crescent while the IRC denies admission to Magen David Amon, the Israeli version of the Red Cross (which means if you donate to the ARC, your money eventually ends up in the pocket of a terrorist's family). That's one reason why the ARC fired Dr. Bernadette Healy, the former head of the ARC. She withheld dues to the IRC because they refused to admit MDA.

Suicide bombing has another compelling economic logic, notes Bruce Bueno de Mesquita, Hoover Institution senior fellow and NYU professor. The bombers have a financial incentive to martyr themselves. They are young men with no economic prospects, no education, no vocation, no opportunity. Suicide bombers guarantee their families payoffs from the Palestinian Authority and from Saddam Hussein. "There is a rational expectation on the part of suicide bombers that they are providing for the future welfare for their families," says Bueno de Mesquita. (It also doesn't hurt that they think they are going to paradise.)

...and, thus, carry on the family tradition of losing one's head in public like that.
