[Paleopsych] Bush's real motive<BR><BR></FONT></DIV><SPAN
class=Apple-style-span>There has been quite a discussion about Bush's true
incentives to start the war in Iraq. I am surprised that what I consider his
real main motive has never been mentioned, as far as I know. It is that he
wanted to <SPAN class=Apple-style-span
style="TEXT-DECORATION: underline">surpass his father</SPAN> who did not dare
to invade Iraq. As a European I have sometimes wondered about US motives being
family reasons, intending to please parents or wives or boost the pride of
children, rather than the objective ones. In American literature I remember my
astonishment about two examples : the policeman or superintendent trying to
stop the fight between the two groups of hooligans in "West side story,"
stating some private motive, and an officer at the landing in Normandy at the
end of WW2 in Irwin Shaw*s " The young lions" who, armed with a private gun
with ivory handle, bragged about which impression he will make on his wife (or
was it his parents?).
