In Freud's theory of psychology the most important semiotic and
clinical phenomenon is the the unintentional disclosure,
where the unintentional slip of the tongue reveals deep
seated neurosis that has it's foundation in arrested
sexual development.
Thus we have the latest Freudian meme on FR or might we
say Freudian Republic.com
Having entered Iraq and failed to fulfill the supremacy of
the ID over the EGO the crisis results in the failure of the
development of the SUPEREGO or post phallic moral agent.
Iraq is a classic instance of Neurosis. The ID, demanding in it's
infantile need for immediate gratification, goes to war with Iraq.
It attempts to move through the EGO stage of development but by failing
to interact with the world (unilateralism) , the SUPEREGO or moral agent
(mature multi literalism) is stillborn.
Thus US foreign policy is ID-etic, fundamentally infantile, destructive and
unable to survive.
Thus the above headline
We are in the midst of a looming disaster; the Premature
Pullout.
The ultimate horror of the neurotic male trapped in the ID, unable to
move through to the emergence of the EGO and ulimately, the SUPEREGO is
clinically exemplified by sexual panic; a surfeit of desire and a paucity
of satisfaction resulting in uncontrollable rage.
This sexual panic is revealled in Bush's personal mannerisms and the
peculiar self destructive character of US military and foreign policy
in Iraq.
The invasion of Iraq is typified by two fundamentally male forms of
neurosis. Premature ejaculation, (mission accomplished but not quite) and pre-mature
withdrawal (stay the course, we can't leave until we're finished)
But to the undeveloped ID there is no finish because there is no possibility
of the satisfaction of primal oral/anal/phallic desires since mature development
of the personality (the US as leader of the world) is given over to instinctive
gratification (Kill all Islamo-fascists)
Since it is impossible to achieve the satisfaction of the primal desire,
(Kill all Islamo-fascists) the Project for the New American Century is
condemned to infantile frustration and ultimately self destruction.
