I would think one would be obligated to see a psychiatrist. I would hate to explain to my wife and children that I had to murder a bunch of people because I had a headache in the night. If my son explained that he had to kill someone because god ordered him to, I would have to chain him up in the tower room and feed him psychotropic drugs. I wish Hitler's dad had done that for him instead of beating him while wearing the uniform of the Imperial Austrian Grenzenkorps. Another point (to save us both postage), I think it would be wonderful if nations paid far more attention to the rnlightened opinion of mankind (to whom Jefferson appealed in the Declaration. Today I listened to blistering attacks on the United States (esp. Oklahoma and Texas) for their unusual dedication to death penalties, especially for youths by MP's urging Blair to protest against American violations thereby of fundamental human rights. Blair repeated that UK was a functioning member of the European Convention on Human Rights (which forbids capital punishment) and was pushing the Convention against the Death Penalty. No one in the entire Parliament had a good word to say for the United States which on this issue (IMO)is considered by all but six other countries (perhaps Cuba, North Korea, China, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Iran) as savage and inhumane. I felt ashamed for all of us. I wonder how we will justify our violation of human rights when we are called before the bar of history and charged with another holocaust. The idea of George W. Bush (whom I consider a mass murderer under international common law) becoming president fills me with forboding and disgust.
