Hare describes psychopaths as "intraspecies predators who use charm, manipulation, intimidation, and violence to control others and to satisfy their own selfish needs. Lacking in conscience and in feelings for others, they cold-bloodedly take what they want and do as they please, violating social norms and expectations without the slightest sense of guilt or regret."

If Bush were to be seriously analyzed I think they will find multiple mental disorders.

Maybe he should take the Hare Psychopathy Checklist!
It is hard to tell what George Bush is! I think he has a severe personality disorder, however, his alcoholism (and he is active) can mask disorders! I think he should get sober and head to South America, where he bought 100,000 acres, before he gets arrested for war crimes!
You are right though, He sure has a lot of the criteria for a diagnosis under the DSM IV as being a psychopath. Cheney would fit in well too!
Of course he could jut be a plain old Fascist!
9/11 hijackers aren't psychopaths! They do it for misguided religious reasons, and their contempt of America! That in no way makes them psychopaths. They think they are Martyrs and going to see Allah! Hell, we found most of the hijackers alive after 9/11.

I did a report in Psychology a few years ago on morality and I looked at anti-morality or basically psychopathy and found plenty of information on why Bush is a psychopath - and this is pre-president time incidents.
I found things like, how as a child he would put fireworks into frogs and light them so they would explode, While at Yale, he was head of the Delta Epsilon Kappa fraternity - and they would brand the new members with the logo, just like the members were cattle or something, leaving half inch thick scabs. Then you have all the crap he has done since becoming president, so I would definitely say yes.

shall we be straightforward....almost each president over the previous 40 years....could desire to be sitting in detention center for some thing. And if we counted senators and congressmen....over one million/2 of those men could desire to be in detention center. So the place is the dividing line? it fairly is what I constantly emphasize to human beings....as quickly as you open a can of beans....it ain't rather. conflict criminal? Its undesirable not consumer-friendly to place Bush interior the league of Hitler. it fairly is the project with this entire USC 2441 episode. Its like writing tax code and setting up the crime with the meant criminal. you finally end up with some thing which you rather did not undersand or understand.
