"Is President Bush mentally ill? Sharon Begley is a senior editor for
science at Newsweek, which apparently entitled her to conduct a tired
psychoanalysis of President Bush and his state of denial about the war in Iraq,
suggested earlier in his life by his comforting his mother as his sister Robin
died of leukemia at age three, and his alcohol abuse as an adult. It 'could all
be dismissed as psychobabble,' Begley wrote, but she marshaled experts to
diagnose him from afar for his 'pathological certainty that things are going
well.'"
I have said it before and I am saying it again. I think that personal attacks are a distraction and anti-productive to discussion politically. If we want to understand the issues that need to be dealt with, they get us no closer to understanding or solving them. If you disagree with someones ideas, attack their ideas. If your ideas are stronger, you do not need to attack others personally, your ideas will win on their merit.
