ABSTRACT
Vengeance is 'the juridical form assumed by the infinite debt', a rage 'exercised in advance' upon a passive citizenry in terror that it might become active. The suicidal-like method suggests clearly impossible to deny the religious dimensions of many suicide-bombings, exclusive focus on that religious aspect serves to efface the intrinsic cross-over between "Holy Terror" and the political. Suicide bombing is a gesture immanent to biopower, an act that reaches the political by bringing biopower to autocritique, revealing the sovereign exclusion that constitutes its politics of life. Deleuze and Guattari suggest that the act of political suicide is irrevocably an engagement with something transdiagrammatic, an outside which is irreducible to any particular diagram. Despotism is intrinsically counter-revolutionary and it seeks to close off all avenues for desires' deterritorialisation. The War on Terror recognised in the human bomb the mastery of the strategy of the outside.
