Sun Tzu, The Art of War

No one wants to look like an idiot

If you know the enemy and know yourself,

you need not fear the result of a hundred battles;

If you know yourself but not the enemy,

for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat;

If you know neither the enemy nor yourself

you will succumb in every battle.

Before Hadi bin Mubarak Qahtani exploded himself into an anonymous fireball, he was young and interested only in "fooling around." Like many Saudis, he was said to have experienced a religious awakening after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the United States and dedicated himself to Allah, inspired by "the holy attack that demolished the p y y foolish infidel Americans and caused many young men to awaken from their deep sleep,"
