[kj] re: Suicide bomber & Jaz

[Jiri]

I'm not so sure. (I assume you mean Bloodsport? Butcher isn't on the 
DVD...but during Bloodsport he's saying the whole "mines, guns, bombs, 
hand grenades...I wanna be a suicide bomber...this is religion...I go to 
holy communion...and then I want to kill afterward")

It's perhaps beside the point, but I interpret in moments like these 
that he is acknowledging the darker parts of human nature, with a bit of 
criticism, perhaps, but more of a "so this is human nature, laugh at 
your peril" way. Just my two-cent impression. He has struck me as 
anti-imperialist war, yes, but not exactly anti-violence.

Ah, but is Jaz criticizing it or simply acknowledging it?

After seeing hundreds of posts on this, happened to be watching the dvd 
and noticed that in the song "Butcher", Jaz is ATTACKING AND CRITICIZING 
HUMANS FOR BEING VIOLENT. Therefor, isn't his suicide bomber comment 
also a criticism of violence and thus suicide bombers? Why hasn't anyone 
noticed this?
