Adolph needed a lot more than reprogramming.

He needed different genes, different parents and a different upbringing.

His chronic dyspepsia fueled his paranoia while his (reported) chronic drug use fueled his megalomania.

As for bin laden, al zawahiri, al zarqawi, they are (or were) outcasts and criminals in their respective countries.

There isn’t a great deal of difference between their thinking of the function of the group and the way inner city gangs function.

Once the (perverted) power showed itself for the first time, it would only continue to need feeding.

“Islam” is the excuse, not the reason. A few verses on paper (allegedly 7th century, but not written down until maybe the 9th century) many having to do with the disposition of “booty” gained from marauding and, voilà, lets bomb whatever moves that is not us around the planet.

the politically correct bureaucrats who preside over more and more of life in Western societies today. They mean well. They seek to boost all mankind up to their own plane of enlightenment. Inequality outrages their sense of justice.

And here I thought it was all about (their own) sense of personal power and control and an attitude of condescension. This that has driven the unenlightened since time immemorial. Getting off on micromanagement extending beyond your own choice of which socks to put on that day.

Either way, the end result imprisons the spirits of the would be controlled.
