Incentives for Terror Attacks

Via Michele Catalano's blog, here are a couple of pages which list terror attacks on the US and on Israel.

Looking at the Israeli list (which is sobering), keep in mind that Saddam Hussein used to pay $25k to the families of suicide bombers, as did a charity fund set up by Saudia Arabia. Since that money flow has been stopped, I wonder if there's less incentive for poor Palestinian men and women to strap on bombs and explode themselves in Israeli pizza parlors?
