1. He has no capacity to empathize because he is a sociopath...

8. The problem is not that he is a Sociopath
Edited on Tue Apr-11-06 04:49 PM by Bitter Cup
It is that he is part of a larger movement of a whole group of people who are amoral and ends oriented to the point of being devoid of all empathy to the pain and suffering their goals result in.

I'm not saying he isn't sociopathic by conventional definitions. I'm saying that using the label on him alone makes appear like He is the problem. Bush isn't THE problem, he's one puppet aspect of the problem which is a whole cadre of straussian theorists who have incorporated absolute selfishness and elitism as core personal values.

If we didn't have a huge number of people allowing him to fiddle while the country burned, his fiddling wouldn't be a problem.

and in answer to the question, I don't think he gives a crap. He doesn't value the lives or pain of people he doesn't know, or people who can't help him. But he is far from alone in that attitude, sadly.

10. Welcome! I agree 100%

Good first post! :thumbsup:

Junior is primarily a pathological narcissist (NPD in DSM-IV) and secondarily sociopathic. He's completely manipulated, a sock puppet and front man - too intellectually lazy and emotionally ill to actually do the job of a chief executive. Cheney (the CEO) and Rumsfeld (the COO) are sociopaths, as are most of the cadre in the cabal.

2. I doubt anyone bothers to tell him
He hardly seems to care about our own military casualties; how could the Iraqis be of any concern to him?

3. I imagine he's very sad. But since he has no imagination, I'm
certain he doesn't see that he's has any role in it. He's from the upper classes afterall, they aren't hardwired for empathy with those inferior to them.

15. Other: He doesn't consider it his fault.
It's al-Zarqawi's fault or Saddam's fault or even their own fault.
Like a true sociopath, he cannot see anything wrong with what
he has done. If innocent people get in the way, that's just too bad.
Besides, he will point to the American women and children
he is supposedly protecting.

16. Other:



He reacts the same as he did when he heard about dead women and children in NOLA.






He picks up his guitar and sports a shit-eating grin.
