What she did was reprehensible but it makes me think whether she was truly committed to her act. Someone who panicks and detonates early might indicate desperation on the part of the Palestinians and their recruiting efforts. Perhaps they are running out of the maniacally-committed types who will do everything they can to take as many as they can with them.

I don't for a moment excuse what she did but I wonder if she was just a scared young woman pushed to do what she did by those who haven't the guts to do it themselves. It may be a hopeful sign of some residual sanity in the Middle East.

"I wonder if she was just a scared young woman who was pushed to do what she did..."It's possible.In the past they(terrorists)have used children and people who are mentally impared(retarted).Coercion is also employed when necessary ie you fail,we'll get your family members.We're dealing with criminal sociopaths.
