Sadly, just as energy tribes secured recognition of their sovereign rights to control resource development, the market for Indian energy collapsed. This Epilogue explains the changes in international energy markets that produced a glut of cheap foreign oil in mid-1980s, making investment in tribal-led energy projects uneconomical. It also updates readers on the fitful attempts by the Northern Cheyenne, Crow, and Navajo to establish mineral revenues amid fluctuating energy markets, and details the intense intra-tribal debates over resource development that continue to divide these communities. Despite these setbacks, however, the book concludes on a hopeful note, describing subsequent changes to federal law that continue to expand tribal control over reservation resources. The last anecdote offers CERT Chairman Peter MacDonald’s 1982 farewell address as an opportunity to summarize the energy tribes’ momentous efforts. These groups mobilized a defense of the homeland, developed the institutional capacity to regulate energy development, and secured legal authority over reservation resources. Only the successful execution of that authority to alleviate suffocating poverty remains.Less

This chapter provides various psychoanalyses regarding the motive of suicide bombers in committing terrorism. Certain mental health authors link suicide bombing to psychopathology. Donatella Marazziti hypothesizes that suicide bombers suffer from multiple pathologies, claiming that suicide bombers might conceivably be affected by dual personality disorder, or by complex personality disorders shaped by specific contexts. In addition, David Lester speculates on the possible role of traumatic events and post-traumatic stress disorder in some of the suicide bombers, as well as factors such as the lack of hope for a happy future and concerns about becoming a burden and bringing shame to their families. On the other hand, Emad Salib regards suicide bombing as a shared delusion (Folie partagée) that arises when many recipients are willing to share such beliefs.Less
