When Bush addressed a mother, Mrs Sheehan, who had lost her son in the war with the words "Mom, I can't even imagine losing a loved one, a mother or a father or a sister or a brother", he was psychologically going back to the trauma he himself had experienced when his sister Robin died when he was seven, and denying it:
"... if the second-born dies, as Robin did when George was seven, then an entirely new and complex dynamic is set in motion. The first-born often has to disown his destructive fantasies and banish them into his unconscious. But such fantasies threaten his mental equilibrium and he has to do something with them. One solution is to project them outward, thereby experiencing people around him as destructive or a source of danger."
It is all explained in Bush on the Couch by Justin Frank and the above meeting with Mrs Sheehan confirms Bush has a psychological problem. The death of his sister might well have been the trigger for his war drive, his unconscious wish to inflict the same trauma on others, or repeat the traumatic experience in a way that is less threatening for himself.
George W. Bush needs psychiatric help.
