divebuddy - //Bomber walks into police station and blows themselves up. Only fatality is the bomber.
Given that the bomber was going to die anyway, the issue is how many others will die. If no others die, that's a good outcome.
That's not hard to grasp, surely. //
If the bomber was an adult jihadist who made the decision to die as a martyr for his or her faith, then that is one thing. I would never say it was a 'good outcome' for anyone to die an unnatural death.
But this was not an adult jihadist, this was a child, and children by definition are innocents, and that is why her death cannot be a 'good outcome'.
I think we will have to have to differ on this - you seem to think that any good bomber is a dead bomber. I would say that a dead child is not a good thing - ever.
