I want to live in a society where one is innocent until =proven=
guilty, not innocent until =seemingly= guilty. Especially when the
end result is a bullet in my head or an anti-aircraft missle up my
tail.


What would provide that proof you need? Would you prefer the state monitor
everybody's activities so that suspicious behavior can be confirmed or
discounted easily? Would the proof require the self-immolation of the
suspect in a devastating suicide bombing?

It seems you're method risks as many innocents as giving the state the power
you oppose.

I'm curious. It seems folks are treating these bombers as criminals. I
don't see them as criminals as much as a new type of enemy fighter ("enemy
combatant"?). Again, when these people are prepared to kill themselves to
accomplish their goal, when they have absolutely no regard for innocent
life, when they cowardly hide among their victims, when they see you and me
as legitimate a target as a soldier, how do you fight them?

"Turn the other cheek" or "just ignore them" simply will not cut it.
