IS THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION SUFFERING FROM MANICHEAN PARANOIA? [+] serious ballot by Mithrandir created Thu Mar 15, 07 (ballot inspired by Zbigniew Brzezinski's appearance on the Daily Show) Manichean paranoia - where proponents of a dualist (black and white) philosophy of good and evil are so blinded by their certitude of moral superiority that it enables them to commit and justify immoral acts. Symptoms presenting in the Bush administration include, for example, - statements such as "either you are with us or you are with the terrorists" - calling other countries the axis of evil - demonization of anyone who disagrees (liberals hate America, Islam is evil, etc. etc.) - justifying the invasion of a sovereign state that posed no real threat through lies and misrepresentations in order to impose an american-styled democracy, without any more than a superficial understanding of the geopolitical and cultural realities of that state and the surrounding region. - eroding civil rights and suppressing dissent Do you think that perhaps the Bush administration is manifesting symptoms of Manichean paranoia?
