25. I think his point is -
- that war may correctly be defined as organized insanity, such as the utter insanity plainly manifest in the gun camera clip, and when people are consigned to function within a structured form of insanity they will conform and behave in an insane manner (Google "The Stanford Experiment). We have seen this in every example of combat conditions that our troops have been consigned to.

While I can sit in a safe, comfortable chair and comment about how wrong it was for those apparently innocent Iraqis to be killed in my name (and yours), I can't blame the men who in reality are little more than extensions of the weapons used to destroy those lives. I blame the people who are truly responsible for it and I regret to say that Obama has chosen to become one among them.

Bush and Cheney are the authors of this period of terrible insanity.
