Mr. Know-It-All Answers Your Burning Questions
Dear Mr Know-It-All,Yes, much!
Should we call them suicide bombers or homicide bombers or what?
Yours,

Dear Undecided,
We shouldn't dehumanize these people by describing them with broad terms. We should make every effort to refer to each individual by his or her actual name. So, instead of saying "a suicide bomber killed himself and nine Israelis," which is impersonal and vague, try this: "A murderous deluded Palestinian idiot named Mohammed al-Chouhani, who deserves to die 1,000 times over for his act of brutal cowardice, killed himself and nine innocent Israelis."
See? Much better.
