Belial,

The passengers aboard the aircraft which crashed in Pennsylvania faced their adversaries, the hijackers, bravely – and died in their attempt to gain control of the aircraft. The terrorist who intentionally kills a child kills someone who is not their adversary, for what has the child done? Is there any redeeming quality if then the terrorist kills him or her self? I may be wrong, but it seems to me that you are inappropriately associating suicide, where the actor has control of the time and place of death, with bravery, where the actor does not.
