if we need to know how to avoid suicide belt bombers, let us not take any tips from the israelis

No one is more vigilant, more prepared, and more watchful than Israel. They don't talk about their successes, except peer-to-peer.

You forget the typical American's psychology... when someone tells you what to do, you do the opposite, just to prove a point. When someone attacks you, and orders you to do as they say, you 'get them back', and then spend a significant amount of time, money, and effort for the exact OPPOSITE cause.

yes, that is my solution. it isn't giving into terrorists though. that is a setup that you have bought into. don't feel bad. it's a GD epidemic.

the typical USAn psychology is meaningless. that is a fairy tale of your own invention (if i'm reading you right?).

so it's even worse than we've been led to believe? interesting. thwarting attacks usually calls for a feather in the cap of somebody. they really must be different over there.

we don't need MORE cooperation with israel. that is one of the main reasons we are seen as the enemy. first, we need to convince them to leave the occupied territories, to at least get them to abide by international agreements. then we'll see about other stuff.
