2. Suicide bombers in Iraq, but not consistently elsewhere in the world.
What's wrong with this picture? If al-Qaida is so hellbent on destroying those who participate in Western civilization, and if they have suicide bombers ready and willing to give their lives for al-Qaida's agenda, which includes specifically targeting those who are invaders/aggressors/occupiers in Iraq, then why aren't there more suicide bombers in England, Italy, Australia and the U.S.?

It seems to me if this were truly the work of al-Qaida, why would they do this only within the borders of Iraq, and of course just recently, this attack in London?

Something doesn't fit. It isn't logical for an extremist group to practice one form of terrorism in one locale and not do so elsewhere. Suicide bombs, I would think, are the easiest to disguise and detonate.

Oh, well, I'm just thinking out loud here. Has anyone else wondered why the U.S. hasn't experienced a rash of suicide bombings that al-Qaida would claim responsibility for?
