At the very least a strictly regulated public torture program would go a long way towards ending those suicide bombings. Any martyr with a lick of sense isn't going to blow himself to smithereens if he has to worry about getting a public flogging after the fact.

Well, my suggestion wouldn't stop the most hardcore suicide bomber from fighting, but it would stop the average citizen or member of a resistance group from taking up a weapon and to start fighting. Oh and don't think for a second that public torture sessions would be a very "reactive" policy. Think proactive and preventitive.
If you want to target suicide bombers specifically, you could simply say that anyone who does that, their family, parents, grandparents would be tortured and murdered by soliders.
