as on-board guidance systems,

but there's no escaping the cost of the missile itself.

Something like a large civilian airliner,

carrying the innocuous markings

of a well-known carrier and a great deal of fuel.

Religion's misguided missiles:
Promise a young man
that death is not the end and he will willingly cause disaster,
