the individuals aren't crazy--the group is-- like the Japanese military and the kamikaze.

"Psychiatry is the biggest form of theoretical hocus pocus in America."


A+ for the day.

"Sageman saw such a process in America in connection with the massacre at Columbine High School in Colorado. There, the two boys who killed others and themselves got their inspiration from a wider group.

"The guys in Columbine, although they were two, they were very much connected to a whole community on the Internet," he said."


Those two idiots had been on ritalin; I think we're beginning to hear exactly what ritalin, prozac, etc., will do to young minds. And they were involved in satanic activity, although the MSM kept that quiet. Guns and violence were all the MSM wanted to talk about.

Self preservation vs survival of the species (tribe, religion). Which instinct is stronger.

Regardless, it doesn't help to have a member of the House Foreign Relations Committee threatening to nuke Mecca.

[Chode]

You only have one son, and you want him to BlowUp right... right???
So use JIHADD brand Semtex Explosive to show you really care!!!

Money back guarantee if not completely satisfied... or if he lives.

please...

They may not be crazy, but they are definitely evil.

And the fact that they don't think they are evil but are instead doing God's work, doesn't detract from that at all. It is still evil.

McCauley even finds insight into the terrorist mind from, of all sources, Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address. He points to a passage from Lincoln's speech on giving up one's life for a cause: "From these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion."

The hell you say. You mean to tell me that if jetliners were around back in the day of The War Between The States and some Union yahoo hijacked one of them new-fangled flying machines and flew it into some Confederate General Store full of children and womenfolk instead of dying in a face-to-face encounter with an armed opponent, Lincoln would HONOR said yahoo? Color me skeptical.

Can we be sure there's not some rationalization going on on behalf of these Model Citizens Gone Wild?

[Avenger]

"Meanwhile researchers in the departments of sociology and psychology at UC Berkeley have found that Bush supporters and conservatives in general suffer from a rather extreme form of psychosis..."

[Mister Baredog]

Of course they're not crazy, they're stoopid enuf to think there's 72 virgins waiting for them, what they don't know is that the virgins are all 80 year old nuns.

"I think anybody could become a suicide bomber," said Sageman, the former CIA officer. "It's a process."

It's a process of opening their life to Satan. Once that is done, the ideology led suicide is in the making.

Psychiatry is

a state instrument of social control in the justice department in the cubicle between corrections and medicine.

[MNJohnnie]

This clown needs to be fired immediately. This is the worst sort of nonsensical moral equivalence new age physcobabble. I will never understand this desperate need for certain psuedo-intellectuals on the Hysteric Left to fixate on playing "devil's advocate". They are so desperate to find something positive to say about our foes, they refuse to impose even the most elementary moral judgments. These morons would find something positive to say about Hitler, Mao or Stalin.

[RightWhale]

All that is being said here is that the office of psychiatry would rather the office of interpellation handle the problem.

Through much of the Muslim world, and even some of Europe," McCauley said, "it's believed that the embargo on Saddam Hussein's Iraq caused the deaths of several hundred thousand people, most of them children, from bad water, untreated sewage, lack of proper medical care."



Bingo! Clearly shows that he is a Hate America first wacko. In this twits bizarre world, Hussein's control of who got access to the food and medical care wasn't at fault, it is the West's fault for trying to stop Hussein from raping his neighbor by imposing Economic Sanctions on him.

What is TRUELY disturbing about the Hate America crowd is that back in 1991 it was these clowns in the Hysteric Left who argued FOR Sanctions saying we didn't NEED military action that we could contain Iraq with ECONOMIC Sanctions!

Note to Hysteric Moron Leftist,

Those honored dead died in battle facing armed, prepared foes. They did NOT plot the murder of unarmed, undefended civilians via sneak attacks. This McMORON is so completely intellectually bankrupt it boggles the mind. It speaks volumes of the utter stupidity of the ABC "News" staff, that they actually took this nonsense seriously!

[Bars4Bill]

Like McCauley, they're kinda mentally slow and stupid, but certainly not crazy.

[Taxman]

Who was the first (or the last, for that matter) Mullah to strap a bomb to himself and commit suicide?

[LifeOrGoods?]

The terrorists are not crazy compared to the Experts!!

[FlashBack]

Thanks for the replies and added analysis...once again the media goes "soft" and "fluff" on the terrorists and their ilk while keeping up the attack on our troops and administration.

There is nothing in the profile of Islamic suicide bombers other than being young and Muslim (many are middle class, educated in the West, successful students, good families) that allows us to distinguish them from anyone else.

From Nazi Germany to Stalinist Russia to Mao's China to the Khmer Rouge to KKK lynch mobs to inner city rioters, it should be quite obvious to us that sane human beings from all walks of life are capable of the most nightmarish horrors against innocent people.

Sane people are commonly passionately pursuaded by nonsense. Sometimes that nonsense is dangerous to others.
