A Respected Egyptian Psychiatrist Offers His Diagnosis: With all the irresponsible and ridiculous things that are being said in the Middle East today it’s great to have the “Chairman of the Arab Psychiatrists Association” to set the record straight. Surely he’s a fountain of reason right? Here’s a few quotes from his latest speech and interview[1]…

“Although you [President Bush] invest a lot of effort in proving yourself, you are not successful in doing so because you are stupid and understand nothing about what is happening in the world. ‘Stupidity’ and ‘idiocy’ are synonyms, and if you don’t like the word ‘stupid,’ you are an evil person with an ugly soul.”

“,,,On the strategic level, there must be a pan-Arab plan in order to reach our goal. The goal of all of us is to liberate Palestine from the Israeli aggressors. To use words that some people no longer like to use today: ‘We will throw Israel into the sea.’ This phrase, by the way, is the truth. Either they will throw us into the sea, or we will throw them into the sea. There is no middle ground. Coexistence is total nonsense…”

“…The real means of dealing with Israel directly is those who blow themselves up. According to what I see in the battle arena, there is no [other means] except for the pure, noble Palestinian bodies. This is the only Arab weapon there is, and anyone who says otherwise is a conspirator. I regret having to use these terms, but Arab politicians and journalists who condemn this fedaai movement are trying to impose such ideas on us to appease the West? The Palestinian body is the only means [of warfare] in this battle.”(2)
