First of all, nice work and thanks for bringing more depth to the discussion.

Here is a link to the definitive site describing the serial sociopath bully, which fits the symptoms I've seen in Bush quite well...there is a wealth of information regarding these personality types.

John Bradshaw (author) and many others have addressed the causal connections between childhood upbringing and violence. I believe it is important for us to understand that junior is an untreated victim of childhood abuse. Untreated abusers often go on to be abusers acting out their childhood pain in a compulsive repetition. Just so happens this one has way too much power for the world's good.

Also, Alice Miller, author of For Your Own Good, wrote eloquently about cruelty in child raising and the roots of violence. By the way, does 'For Your Own Good' sound familiar ? How many times has Bush used that excuse...we're victimizing them FOR THEIR OWN GOOD to bring 'em democracy and freedom.

In order to stop the cycle of abuse and violence that gets handed down from generation to generation, one must usually go through some sort of recovery process, feel the FEELINGS associated with all of that childhood pain, grieve the loss, and finish growing up. There are groups called...Adult Children of Alcoholics, where folks meet to discuss these feelings, become vulnerable, and share in healing.

'Adult Children' like Bush are literally emotionally stunted and are not mature adults as you may think of a healthy, mature adult. Hence the 'childish' acting out (laughing, Yo Blair, other gaffes and goofs) which is wholly inappropriate as leader of the free world. The implications of having an 'adult child' with the world's most powerful military at his command are dire to say the least.

Evil is surely the result of this acting out, but understanding the source is valuable in knowing...
It ain't going away unless treated.
It is the same disease that drove Hitler.
It is an inter-generational phenomena.
It is well understood by many in the psychological community.
It can be 'predictive' in knowing what 'buttons' to push to get a certain result.
It is a 'progressive' disease...gets worse with time.
It is epidemic in our culture.

Here is my question for Helen Thomas to ask GW....
George, how does it FEEL to know that your decisions are responsible for the deaths and injuries of tens of thousands of innocent people, many of them children ? HOW DOES IT FEEL GEORGE? And you can't use the word terrorism or 911 in the answer.

There is only ONE STORY in all of human kind...something like...
"My separation from the world and my reaction to it"

To be continued perhaps....
