also, one important similarity between drones and suicide bombers i didn’t see mentioned was that many suicide bombings were not suicides at all, but people duped into carrying, or driving, remote control bomb devices they didn’t know were bombs. this, makes these “suicide” bombers more similar to drone warfare than the knowing suicide bombers. the person in effect being the drone whose bomb is controlled by someone else by remote control.
