"Inevitability" is a lot less precise than Alan Horn seems to think: Lea Tsemel, the Israeli lawyer who defends Palestinian terrorists, tells us that many suicide bombers do not succeed and are arrested. She finds that most of them are relieved. Their motives I think are relevant as of those extremely likely to die, like the Assassins..
 
Why 'limited'? I guess it's because I am writing an e-mail not a book.

 . . . .If Derek Wood wants to conflate likelihood with inevitability and
argue that all high-risk attacks on well-defended targets are suicide
missions, why did he limit his examples to those occurring in Asia?
