Quick note

Ok, can I be really mean for a minute? Have you seen the footage of the woman who was supposed to blow herself up with her husband in Amman? The story is, her belt "didn't work" so he pushed her out of the room and ran into the wedding reception to blow himself up without her.

All the different scenarios run through my head and they're all really mean. Like, she says she's 35 but have you seen her? Or how about, if he's going to have 72 virgins to play around with, does he want his wife around too? Or be there while she gets the equivalent (what is the equivalent by the way, because if it's 72 virgins then that's one of the reasons these women are a rarity).

If he really was determined to cause mayhem rather than win something for himself in whatever afterlife he's been brainwashed to think he goes to...wouldn't he have grabbed her hand as blowing himself up would have activated her bomb belt and it would have been a much more devastating explosion.
