The US has gone mad

[Andrej Tisma]

Quoting from the DKS list quoting from The Guardian, Jan. 6:

If a patient came into my office warning of an imminent attack on the US 
with weapons of mass destruction without there being any evidence 
whatsoever that this would occur, and saying that we had to strike first 
and "take out" all those who were a threat to us as a first step towards 
world domination, I would diagnose him as suffering from paranoid and 
grandiose delusions and perhaps as psychotic. And, fearing that he 
constituted a potential danger to himself or others, I would commit him 
to a psychiatric hospital for a period of evaluation and treatment. I 
suspect that some of my colleagues with licences to practise psychiatry 
in Washington DC are struggling with the decision to exercise their 
clinical, ethical, and legal responsibilities to protect the public now 
that the US Congress has failed to do so.
