Yes, and I think in the Catholic tradition, if one goes on a suicide mission to accomplish some good they are sometimes later revered as saints.

Here I disagree. Suicide, bombers, because of the fact that they are willing to die makes them incredibly effective and lethal. In addition, you can not defeat them by threatening them with force, you either kill them or change their mind, but intimidation is never going to work. The term "Homicide Bomber" tries to white wash that critical fact.
