If, like Bush, you fight terrorism, you only multiply misery.

If you think like this psychoanalyst, you must believe that Hitler did not multiply misery. My vote is still for Bush.

[Quix]

DEAR LORD--PLEASE,

MAY ALL THIS MAN'S PATIENTS DESERT HIM FOR A BALANCED PSYCHOLOGIST, MD OR OTHER HEALTHIER COUNSELOR.

MAY HE BE CONFRONTED WITH DREAMS OF STARK REALISM ABOUT THE REAL BATTLES IN THE SPIRITUAL REALM AS WELL AS IN THE TANGIBLE REALM.

Let him eat his words 100 times over and then shut-up in humiliation!

SPIEGEL ONLINE: Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah?

At last - a translation that perfectly captures all the valuable content of this interview. Two thumbs way up for the good doctor... ;)

sick sick sick ... i count more than a dozen plain factual lies alone, and the rest a tissue of lies woven with prejudices.

It's as absurd as a guy taking measurements of an aboriginal head and calling them incapable of thought based on his pseduo-scientific but racist "analysis". It is that insulting to Americans.

[Steel Wolf]

Thank you, Speigel Online. We are all dumber for having read your article. At no time during that entire rambling nonsense did the 'psychoanalyst' approach anything resembling a point. I award him no points, and may God have mercy on his soul.

[Steel Wolf]

Got it. We need to disarm.

We are going to disarm. We have to. There is no other choice.

We disarmed Afghanistan. We're about to disarm Iraq. North Korea may be next. Yep, America, helping make the world a safer place by taking sharp objects from people who can't handle them safely.

Not that we'd disarm ourselves. Anyone who advocates that forgets what kind of neighborhood we live in.

[Steel Wolf]

SPIEGEL ONLINE: Is there any hope that the president can free himself of this psychological mess?

Drewermann: You would have to talk to the potential opponent -- Iraq -- and together look for ways out of the crisis. The Europeans are trying to do that. However, Bush feels that he alone possesses wisdom and power, and he defies the world. He is a well-trained puppet of the Pentagon and the oil industry.

I was able to read up to about this point before my brain, in a desperate act of self preservation, disconnected itself, curled my body up into a ball, and rolled it onto the floor to get it away from the computer screen.

I'm usually a strong advocate of 'know your enemy' but in this case, I'll just chalk them up as 'totally nuts' and let it go at that.

There are people that believe this rubbish. LOL! Free himself indeed, like you did Drewermann, with a 2 liter jug of LSD?

How did y'all like the results of the online poll in #6 above?

If Time or Newsweek were to do an interview with Noam Chomsky, Michael Moore or some such loon, do you think 61% of their readers would agree that their rantings are Profound and Correct, and only 5% would vote for Entirely False and Dangerous?

Granted, online polls are not scientific (a representative poll of the general population would break down differently). But I live here, folks. I have met many -- too many -- people who sincerely believe that Drewermann, or younger versions of him, are Profound and Correct thinkers.

Argue with them, appeal to their reason and sense of what is right? I try... But it's like "Invasion of the Body Snatchers". You look them in the eye, and there is a frightening sense of "nobody home"... you have met a brainwashed person.

The French, in some respects, are worse. Their unparalleled cynicism enables them to switch positions at the drop of a hat. Anything's fair, as long as it benefits the greater glory of la France. But at least they're pragmatic enough to switch horses when they no longer see a chance of getting ahead.

The Germans, on the other hand, sincerely believe they are morally upright, and that their history of Nazism obligates -- nay, entitles -- them to hold court over U.S. "imperialism".

typical Der Spiegel reporting. Very Anti-American, biased and plain wrong. That rag always gets my blood boiling, I only red it AFTER I take my medication. :)
