Colin McEnroe | To Wit: Paging Dr. Freud! Or...Happiness Is a Warm ...:
If you had any doubt that the invasion of Iraq was "triggered" at least partly by George W. Bush's untreated thicket of psychological issues related to his father -- pretty much the classic paradoxical melange of wanting both to protect Dad and triumph over him -- consider this: he keeps the severed penis of his father's chief rival in his office. Well, symbolically. Sometimes a pistol is just a pistol. Not this time. Not when you have attempted to "rescue" and diminish your father in one fell swoop using the might of the American military. (In retrospect, buying the baseball team was the first sign of unresolved Oedipal conflict. All those sticks and balls.)
