Yet another weird SF fan


I'm a mathematician, a libertarian, and a science-fiction fan. Common sense? What's that?

Not at All Terrible

According to Fox News, a terrorist leader blew himself up:

A man whom the U.S. described as a key figure in Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula accidentally blew himself up, U.S. military officials told Fox News.

The officials say Nayif Al-Qahtani was "messing with a bomb" when it went off. U.S. officials had been watching him, but Fox News' sources insist the U.S. had nothing to do with his death.

In a related story, in the article “Build Your Own A-Bomb And Wake Up The Neighborhood” by George W. Harper (in the April 1979 issue of Analog), we find:
Terrorists who blow up only themselves are merely amusing and not at all terrible.

Addendum: A blurb at Fark was far more succinct:

Darwin Akbar

I dunno. Darwinism favors the evolution of more effective terrorists as the stupid ones are taken out of the gene pool.
