'I wanted to see him married, not buried'

"The suicide bomber who blew himself up in a Jerusalem bus on Thursday, killing 10 passengers, was a quiet person who seemed to stay away from politics, relatives said.

Ali Munir Jaara, 24, a Palestinian policeman, left a note saying that he wanted to avenge eight Palestinians killed in fighting with Israeli troops in the Gaza Strip the day before."

<snip>

"This is just not my son. I just couldn't believe it," said his father, Munir Jaara, standing outside his home receiving mourners. "He never got involved in politics. This was shockingly unexpected."

Like their father, Ali Jaara's sisters were critical of their brother's attack.

"I'm very angry," said eldest sister Ola Jaara as she wiped tears from her puffy red eyes. "These operations are not only not good for us, but really bad for us."

1. Yes, it's a tragedy for them, too.
Murder is pretty selfish, all in all.

2. Terrorists are like Moonies on steroids.
And we all know that steroids are a bad thing. President Bush said so.
