    According to the tenets of Islam, does a remote controlled bomb immediately go to heaven like a suicide bomber?

    If so, this new technology may become fierce competition for its human counterparts. For the Americans, remote killing makes it easier to live with the guilt of combat. And so come the drones. For radical Islamists, pushing a button from afar takes the thrill out of it because there's no doggie bone after their trick. As far as I can see, the main cause of Islamic terrorism is a fundamental inability of medieval-minded people to live in the modern world around them, and so they seek an afterworld full of mythical virgins. An explosive annihilation of inquiry and cooperation.

    RIP the innocents who die as a result of such selfishness.

    "the troubled Khymer tribal region"

    I'll bet real estate agents have a hard time selling properties in that region:

    Agent: "Yes, we have a lovely 2-bedroom bungalow available... it's in the Kymer tribal region...

    Prospective buyer: No, thanks. What else ya got, not in the Khymer tribal region?
