- oriental phsyiognomy has something to say about that.

That's interesting, is that why the images of terrorists always appear to show men with hooded eyes, half of the pupils appear to be hidden?

Here’s what wikipedia has to say about it, the notable Sanpaku people include some I don’t know but Aleister Crowley - an evil man if there ever was one!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanpaku

>>>>Use in Physiognomy
Sanpaku references the belief held by some that the visibility of the white of the eye between the iris and the lower eyelid is a sign of physical and spiritual imbalance.[citation needed]

Some societies consider Sanpaku (San Pacu) eyes to denote physical and mental superiority, also beauty.[citation needed] By all accounts it is a very rare and significant physical characteristic, envied and admired by some, but misunderstood, resented, and feared by others.[citation needed] Some representations of certain Gods and Heroes are shown with this characteristic.[citation needed]

In August 1963, macrobiotic pioneer George Ohsawa predicted that President John F. Kennedy would experience great danger because of his sanpaku condition. This was reported by Tom Wolfe in the New York Herald Tribune.[1]

People with sanpaku eyes may also be feared to be prone to violent or disordered behaviors.[citation needed] Though this belief is testable, to date, no known scientific evidence validates it.
