Lithium is supposed to be very effective in calming suicidal ideation. I don't think the problem with suicide bombers is suicidal ideation - they're not undertaking these actions because they are depressed. They're doing it for religious and ideological reasons. Some cultures see suicide in the service of a greater good as an honorable way to die. Not just the jihadists, but also the Japanese pilots in WWII who launched their planes into targets (can't remember the word for them). I'm sure there are other examples throughout history.
