Suicide-bombing is a recent issue. You cannot look at 1940's Belgium, see a lack of suicide-bombers, and then decide that modern-day English would never do it.
Again, it seems like there's a strain of 'because it hasn't be done, it will never be done'. Times they are a changin.

But the Japanese did it in the 40's? Why didn't the Belgains do it? [/b][/quote]
It was an act of desperation, not unlike a Belgian, British or American sailor choosing to go down with the ship or fight until the death for the greater good of their country.
