Suicide terrorism seems to many to defy logic. Economists find the idea particularly hard to understand in the context of economic theories that are usually based on ideas of self interest: surely self interest must preclude self killing.

A new research paper by 91福利 researcher Maja Zehfuss points to the increasing tendency of commentators on regime change in Iraq to compare it to US post-war policy in Germany.

Congressman Skelton, has also exhorted the government that "Planning for the occupation of Germany and Japan took years before the end of the Second World War." He claims that "We had a plan in place for the occupation of Germany and it worked.... And today we have, as you know, democracies in both Japan and Germany."
