But what if they truly believe that that one agonizing moment will lead to an eternity of joy and pleasure? is that bravery?
I think the reason you target a weding party rather than a military post is because you're looking for two different results that way. You can't possibly beat the U.S. military in a head on battle, so you target the people in that nation, hoping that the masses will eventually turn on our presence there.
It's a tactic similar to that used in Israel, and I think it's cowardly. Blowing yourself up outside a military post may not be the same, that seems to me more like guerilla warfare.
