What is the difference between Suicide Bombing & bombing from the air where you can't control the damage?

Question

Keeping in mind the end result of both the situations above.

Answer 1

Suicide boming you kill yourself. Why do you ask? The end result is not the same!
The most horrific thing about suicide bomer is that he pretends to be one of the people arround and then not only kills himself, he kills the others. He is looking into the faces and into the eyes of those innocent babies, innocent old ladies, pretty girls, and then.......

Answer 2

Now that is a very unique question and it raises some very interesting issues with our military operations. Having spent 4 years in the Navy around fighter pilots and weapons techs, i can tell you for a fact that projectiles like rockets and missiles miss, ALOT. Even so called "smart bomb" technology is not fail safe contrary to what the military and defense industry says.
I would say the difference between suicide bombing and air-to-ground missiles has more to do with the trigger man. Its needless to say that firing a missile from 600 ft in the air to hit a "target" is much more impersonal than walking into a crowded market with explosives strapped to your chest. The suicide bomber has to see the faces of his victims whereas the pilot sees a marked image being displayed on a screen or "target". However the "target" and bomb victims are on in the same.

Answer 3

I think I can explain the major difference for you:

Suicide bombing (if I am understanding your question correctly) involves a religious fanatic causing as much death and suffering of others while simultaneously killing them self in order to get to a beautiful paradise. The damage is somewhat controlled.

Bombing from an airplane is when an airplane is used to bomb a target or targets. The damage is somewhat controlled. The plane has no hope of going to paradise.

Answer 4

I guess your right about the result but its not about the result. Its about how you gonna dispose the bomb. Suicide bombing usually carried by a human whos ready to commit suicide that's why they're called human bomb or suicide bomber. They are making sure the bomb works and blows on the target(usually the civilians or helpless people).

Answer 5

Most suicide bombers are trying to kill civilians. If your point is to try and make suicide bombing sound reasonable you have failed. Its no secret that the civilian casualties from aerial bombing are exaggerated. Many of those around the targets are sympathizers, enablers and conspirators. In my mind those are legitimate targets.

Answer 6

There are usually mass celebrations after a suicde bomb attack where they are happy that people are dead, whereas a bomb attack is usually a means to an end where people aren't celebrating the loss of innocent life, but in fact feeling guilty for those who get caught up in civilian areas where terrorists live.

Answer 7

A lot.
If you kill a bus full of kids going to school just so you can have sex in heaven vs Killing a few people that are tied to a rocket launcher.

Israels bombs are laser guided by men on the ground. But the terrorist hide behind women and children. They are not men and man does not do that.

Answer 8

Don't be so cute and pendantic. Control is easy from both forms of attack. You want a couple of people dead or thousands??? PS: Air is much more accurate for a body count. Put it where you want it for maximum effect. F**king collage kids, put the bong down and face reality, fer Christ's sake...

Answer 9

a strike from the air is targeted toward the militants. Suicide bombers strike civilians, and anyone close..

Answer 10

gee i dont know. other than from the air the bomber doesnt walk into a crowd and kill himself. that can be done from the air. they were known as kamikazis during ww2
