Bush: ‘No regime should ignore the will of its own people.’»
In a statement regarding new sanctions against Zimbabwe today, President Bush declares that “no regime should ignore the will of its own people“:

The regime has also continued its ban against NGO activities that would provide assistance to the suffering and vulnerable people of Zimbabwe. No regime should ignore the will of its own people and calls from the international community without consequences.

4. Psychopathic personality
I have encountered only one psychopathic personality, although I have read much about them.

Psychopathic personalities delight in hurting people. That's what gets them off. Not necessarily physical torture but mental torture. Please don't confuse that with people who indulge in BDSM (not my thing, but I know people who enjoy it) because everything they do is consensual.

My encounter with that psychopathic personality led me to understand these things about his behaviour. It's not valid to generalize from one example, but from what I've read it seems to fit the general profile.


  • He enjoyed "warning" people about what he would do. In reality, he enjoyed the fear they expressed at what they thought he might do.

  • He also enjoyed his "warnings" because it let him feel superior. He gave them a handicap. Even forewarned, they were no match for his mighty intellect. In reality he'd rigged the game in advance so that the warning did them no good. But even a psychopath has to bolster his ego.

  • He enjoyed rubbing in what he'd done afterwards. It increased the suffering.


What you saw was typical (if my experience and reading is anything to go by) psychopathic behaviour. The irony of attacking others for what he does himself adding insult to injury. Which is what psychopaths get off on.

6. Cheney is in a class by himself
Cheney takes psychopathic behaviour to new heights (or lows, depending how you measure it).

They're evil fucks. It's that simple.
