[MD] tiny skull

[Peter Corteen]

Hi Platt,

the basis for the difference in behaviour of Ghandi and your average suicide
bomber comes down to ancestry and education.
Ghandi was a Hindu which is pantheistic; I imagine that life for Ghandi  was
a near constant appreciation that 'Thou art that'.
Your average suicide bomber though lives under the delusion though that thou
art not Allah, and she believes that Allah will reward her for giving her
own life for the cause.

Still I think Ghandi and the bomber and Hitler were doing what they thought
was best.
