Funny, or Clever, or...?

One of those little things that goes around in political circles has been what to call those kids who blow themselves up to kill Jews in Israel. "Suicide Bomber" has been what most of the press uses, but some prefer "Homicide Bombers." I usually use "Suicide-Murderer," but none of it seems quite right.

It's sick, but I laughed out loud when Andrew Sullivan recently referred to them as "Islamikaze murderers." But it works, doesn't it? I just keep wondering when we'll get our first one over here.
