How do you fight the insanity and ignorance of a suicide bomber?

There's a story out today from Russia (I guess that's what we're calling that place that collapsed) that some suicide bomber struck there with a vengeance: Suicide attack in Russia kills 17, wounds over 130 By SERGEI VENYAVSKY, Associated Press Writer; ROSTOV-ON-DON, RussiaA suicide car bomber hit the central market of a major city in Russia's North Caucasus on Thursday, killing at least 17 and wounding more than 130 people in one of the worst attacks in the volatile region in years, officials said...At least 17 people, including the suicide bomber, were killed and 133 were wounded in the explosion, said Alexander Pogorely of the Emergency Situations Ministry's branch in southern Russia. He said 98 of the injured were hospitalized, many in grave condition. So they strike like this in Iraq and Iran and through the Middle East and other parts of Southeast Asia and we have our military and tanks and jet airplanes and bombs but tell me--how do you fight the ignorance and insanity of someone who can and will blow him/her self up (mostly "hims") for what they see as a "worthy cause"? How do you deal with that? How do you get people educated enough, quickly enough that they don't do this to their fellow countrymen, to their own local neighborhood/city/country? What did this guy expect to achieve, in this instance? Is he part of a larger group, pushing for some change? Fighting this mindset seems virtually impossible.

Well somebody's gonna get pissed off enough about it to deport all the arabs and herd them to the mideast.

Or just round em up and put them in one place, away from the rest of society.

This whole circus about the burning of the Korans is starting to piss me off. Here we are scared shitless, over this religious nut, afraid we'll get a spanking by believers of that fucking 'religion of peace.'

The world's most powerful country terrorized by veiled unspoken threats. I think it's time to flush the bombers. If not that, then close the borders and cancel all visas from the nutcases and ship them back to the sandpile.

We don't even have enough balls to call it a war! Tehran must be laughing their asses off!

Rman is completely right.

For the media to have swarmed all over this psycho Terry Jones, and report and report and report on it, though he has only 50 members in his congregation--ignoring his otherwise, too, inglorious past, which is at least murky, if not disreputable--has been completely irresponsible, too.
