Regarding the article "Female suicide bombers kill 48 in Iraq" (July 28): Why are we still shocked by female suicide bombers? We express shock that women could engage in that much violence, but history shows us that women are as capable of indiscriminate violence as men.
Female suicide bombers have been with us since the 1980s and have shown how effective female human bombs can be in Sri Lanka, Chechnya and the Middle East.
If women can go into combat for the United States military why is it so difficult to understand that they can also be on the front lines of a radical cause?
