Suicide Bombers are scary. Terrifying even.
But why?
It’s because they are humans that have been turned into weapons. They can’t be reasoned with; there’s no chance to defeat them. They might be stopped by destroying the mechanics (their body), but there’s no other way, mere injury or impossible odds won’t stop them. And they’re willing to kill regular people (non-soldiers) to achieve their goal.
That sounds great, but let’s do one better – how about we use robots instead?
That way, we showcase our technical and financial superiority, while maintaining the same advantages of having a weapon without human failings which can execute both targeted and indiscriminate killing. Moreover, we can use human intelligence to direct these robots, while preventing the human “drivers” from coming to harm themselves or identifying with the victims and experiencing the stress of live combat (by substituting a video-game-like experience). Our hands stay clean while we wreak havoc = win-win.
Oh, yeah, we got it. Predator drone is better than suicide bomber, big time. Take that, you low-tech losers!
