18. If the aim of a "suicide bomber" is "suicide", wouldn't he/she be better
off doing it in an open field away from people? That would lessen their chances of being shot by a guard.

If the aim of the bomber is actually "homicide" and not "suicide", then isn't it more technically correct to call it a "homicide bomber"?

To tell you the truth, I don't really care what we call it. The fact that we've got enough time and energy to debate whether or not it should be "suicide bomber" or "homicide bomber" just shows how much better off we are than the poor folks over there who actually have to worry about the shrapnel.
