he was at war, was being held by the enemy, and was faced with certain death
He story is remarkably similar to the Palestinians !
Likewise; if a POW at Camp X Ray would be to blow the whole camp into the sky, taking everybody down with him, this would make him a (suicide bomber)
You can't pick and mix the act of suicide bombing from a different scenario or set of people. Samson killed himslef, taking down everybody else in the process.

i woman in mesa, arizona whom i've known for over 30 years recently died in her mobile home.
83 years old and too poor to afford the added electricity of air conditioning on her $500/month social security check, she was found dead in her chair with a fan blowing on her.
I cannot wait to hear The Master pronounce judgement on the Watchtower Bible & Tract Society: "Get away from me you workers of lawlessness. I never knew you."
Don't hold your breathe. If the master really gave a shit he would put a stop to this nonsense ; alas ! the master doesn't exist
i just finished mission compromised and enjoyed the hell out of it.
i knew that the sequel had just come out so last night i decided i couldn't wait any longer and went out and bought the jericho sanction.. i'm only a few chapters into it right now, but i'm loving it.
I have never heard of these books you mention, man !
However, I agree that computers take away valuable reading time. I have read many books over the period of the last 10 months, and my eyes are telling me no more.
In 1972, a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit
do you believe in free will?and if you do can you explain how it works?.
i can't see how free will could work.our motivation for doing things good or bad seems to come from a mixture of genes and enviroment, and through a long and complicted process cause us to perform all the actions we experience in life.when we feel a prompting to do something ,eat sleep have sex etc, this is accomplished by our body using chemicals in our bodies to give us a feeling that we then act upon.the degree to which these chemicals prompt us is related to genetic makeup and environment.. so some people have a bigger desire to eat than others because they lack the chemical stimulation that tells them to stop eating.or some will eat less (often when ill) because the chemicals that prompt you to eat are lacking.in normal life lots of over factors will be involved to like say an important phonecall at lunch time .if your brain feels the information from that call is important enough it will send out different chemicals that will cause you to attend to that situation first if serious enought.. knowledge can modify how our bodies react to certain situations, for example a child may see an icecream van and run into the road because his body has yet to learn of the danger of running into a road.when taught how foolish this by a nasty experience or hopefully , taught about the dangers by its parents, then the body will send out a meesage to look at the road first.. our bodies tell us which ideas are good and bad according to the information it holds and we react accordingly.we can fight desires but the will to do so is caused by other desires which are prompted by the body.. to have true free will neither our genes or enviroment could effect what we decide to do.. we have to be able to do things irespective of what promting we recive from our bodies or what information we have learnt and has thus modified our bodies response.. maybe there are but i can not think of any situation where or actions or reactions can not be explianed by genes mixed with environment (often in a very complicated way).nor can i understand how free will could work,unless free will is just a random action which could not be free will in the true sense.. if there is no free will then if there were a god and we are judged on what we do then this is entirely unfair as we really have little say in what we do in life.
