The US: A victim of asymmetric warfare (suicide)
Well the people who may or may not be terrorists have struck again! It seems that following a couple of years gagged in orange jump-suits, three ‘enemy non-combatants’ have attacked the US from within its Cuban, no lawyers-no rights, luxury ‘back to basics’ resort by committing suicide. “The two Saudis and a Yemeni…had killed themselves in ‘an act of asymmetric warfare waged against’" the US. ( BBC )
Seriously though, suicide ( with no bomb) as warfare? Killing oneself is now an act of terrorism that threatens ‘our freedom’?
I really do not understand the logic or justification for such statements. If they spin any faster the world may slide out of orbit.

Just so it does not seem like I am the only one who finds this a bit disturbing...Jean Asselborn, the Luxembourg foreign minister, said: "It's hard to understand why when three people kill themselves, that is an attack on America. Something has to change in the American mentality."
Perhaps you're right... maybe they were just really bummed by Iran's prospects against Mexico in the World Cup.
That's possible Kevin, but given it was two Saudis and a Yemeni who killed themselves it's more likely that they couldn't face the prospect of coming up against mighty Tunisia.
