Well, isn't this special? Antisocial Personality Disorder and the Iraq War.
Edited on Mon Nov-05-07 09:31 AM by ck4829
The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV, currently DSM-IV-TR), a widely used manual for diagnosing mental and behavioral disorders, defines antisocial personality disorder as a pervasive pattern of disregard for and violation of the rights of others occurring since age 15vc, as indicated by three (or more) of the following:

1. Failure to conform to social norms with respect to lawful behaviors as indicated by repeatedly performing acts that are grounds for arrest
2. Deceitfulness, as indicated by repeated lying, use of aliases, or conning others for personal profit or pleasure
3. Impulsivity or failure to plan ahead
4. Irritability and aggressiveness, as indicated by repeated physical fights or assaults
5. Reckless disregard for safety of self or others
6. Consistent irresponsibility, as indicated by repeated failure to sustain steady work or honor financial obligations
7. Lack of remorse, as indicated by being indifferent to or rationalizing having hurt, mistreated, or stolen from another

Maybe it's time to declare the Bush Administration mentally unfit for office.

Would YOU want a person with what is the worst personality disorder and what may be the most dangerous mental disorder running the government?

1. People with this personality disorder tend to be very charming,
as well as manipulative. That explains people always saying what a "great guy" * is in person.
The whole, "He's a guy I'd like to have a beer with" thing is based on this sad charade. The man
is a cruel joke of a president.
