Right, but people at the top are generally a little more savvy and realistic to the possible repercussions.I think the threat of nuclear force is a deterrent to rational people. Not everyone who leads a country is necessarily rational though.
For example, it seems to be relatively easy to convince some schmuck to be a suicide bomber with the promises of martyrdom and rewards in heaven, but you don't see leaders of countries doing this, nor do you see them sending their immediate family members to do this.
