Kamikaze Attacks

"KAMIKAZE"
Upon sighting the target,
Aim for a point at center of the ship.
As you dive, shout at the top of your lungs
"HISATSU!!!" [Japanese for "Sink without fail"
Just before the collision
It is essential that you do not shut your eyes.
You will feel that you are suddenly floating in the air...
At that moment you will see your mother's face
then you are no more...

I shall write about SUICIDE, KAMIKAZE, JIHAD FI SABILILLAH, PARRANG SABBIL

To my knowledge the only human beings who have conducted political suicide/martyrdom acts
as institutions are:

THE ACHEHNESE IN SUMATRA VS. DUTCH
THE SULUANOS OF MINDANAW VS. SPAIN & AMERICA
THE JAPANESE in 1944-1945 VS. AMERICA

The first two are MUSLIMS while the last are SHINTO...

=======================================
I heard that the only event needed for World War III
(My own count is that it is WW 5 already!)
is the U.S. attack on Iran... Pressed on by some factions in U.S.A.
But Iran will retaliate with suicide attacks on all U.S. interests around the world...

Apparently nobody learns from history...
QUOTES ON HISTORY...

History teaches us that men learn nothing from history
or
History teaches us that history teaches us nothing
or
-generally attributed to Hegel but sometimes to G.B. Shaw

We learn from history that we do not learn from history.

What experience and history teach is this -- that people and governments never have learned anything from history, or acted on principles.

Happy people have no history.
-Leo Tolstoy

It is the essence of the poor that they do not appear in history.
-Anonymous

"History" is a Greek word which means, literally, just "investigation."
- Arnold Toynbee

Man in a word has no nature; what he has... is history.
- Jose Ortega y Gasset

Purely historical thought is nihilistic; it wholeheartedly accepts the evil of history.
- Albert Camus

Between history and the eternal I have chosen history because I like certainties. Of it, at least, I am certain, and how can I deny this force crushing me.
- Albert Camus

History is more or less bunk.
It is tradition.
We do not want tradition.
We want to live in the present
and the only history that is worth a tinker's damn
is the history we make today.
- Henry Ford
