[kj] Jaz as Suicide Bomber Part Deux.

[Papa Lazarou]

We all need to watch the DVD, or read a transcript.
It's a bit late in the day for KJ to try a Grundy special.

I'll wait until I see the interview, to get the comments in full
context. But a couple of comments in the meantime:

I am not sure "death without fear" and zest for life are in conflict. 
Make the most of what you have, and then try to die without fear.

In one, very narrow sense, it is admirable to devote yourself so
completely to a cause. On the other hand, suicide bombings are quite
ineffective toward the long-term goals those bombings are supposed to
achieve. It is senseless, pointless violence that holds a small sliver
of one admirable quality. In all other respects, suicide bombings are
quite pathetic and tragic for all concerned.
