Psychopaths Of The World - United
Bad enough the world is beset with sociopaths and psychopaths whose unendurable crimes against society make headlines day after day, across the world. Crimes of every description against others, against society, reported in every corner of the globe. From family members visiting harm on their extended families, to predators seeking victims wherever they can be found. This is on the micro-level of society, but the macro-level of the impact of such human monsters is history writ large.Psychopaths like Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, and all those who follow in their footsteps. In the present era the world is absorbed with the machinations of world leaders like Kim Jong-il, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and the Iranian ayatollahs, with Hugo Chavez, and Fidel Castro, with Robert Mugabe and Muammar Gaddafi and Omar al-Bashir along with others of their ilk whose disturbing presence on the world stage creates strife and uncertainty.
From evil-minded masterminds like Osama bin Laden and his cronies, and their supporters and emulators it is often difficult to ascertain who is capable of mounting the most dangerously vicious and violent offences against civil society and the world at large. Iran threatens world stability and its allies in Turkey and Brazil conspire to whitewash the impending danger.
North Korea, a friend and ally of Iran, exercises its ability to inspire the unsettling fear of war in the Korean peninsula through yet another brutal outrage; an act of war in itself, which saner, cautionary leaders hope to defuse when in fact, nothing can defray the cost of future disaster by down-playing the seriousness of a war-mad despot who starves his people with the assurance that enemies will feed them.
North Korea's Kim Jong-Il has institutionalized neglect and starvation, just as Robert Mugabe has, with both countries heartily reliant on international charity to do what they will not; maintain populations on living rations, while informing their closed societies that international aid is the result of fear on the part of the outside world. They're not too far off the mark, either.
After North Korea sank South Korea's Cheonan, murdering 46 South Korean sailors in the process, the lunacy of the Dear Leader led to the blame of the blameless: "the Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of Korea ... formally declares that from now on it will put into force the resolute measures to totally freeze the inter-Korean relations, totally abrogate the agreement on non-aggression between the North and the South and completely halt the inter-Korean co-operation".
The aggressors manage, not subtly, but with rhetorical bravado and with total self-assurance, to convey the message that they represent the higher order of morality and their adversaries upon whom they prey, represent the true aggressors. This display of inchoate insanity is seen in Syria, Iran, with their subordinates Hamas and Hezbollah; it is seen in Venezuela, in Cuba, in Burma and in Sudan.
While civilization in countries like Somalia and Republic of Congo descend into anarchic decay just as Yugoslavia did, and Chechnya and Afghanistan and Pakistan have demonstrated, politically, socially, technologically advanced countries of the world look on in dismay unable to credit what is occurring, desperately attempting to bandage the wounds and set order back into place.
The formula for successfully countering the insanity of psychopathic dictators who torment their own along with the rest of the world has not yet been formulated. Decent, concerned countries of the world who desperately want to find a protocol for dealing with the delusional in positions of power sit in the United Nations somehow hoping that justice will prevail.
It has not, and seemingly will not, as the United Nations wrings its hands in unhelpful, impotent dismay, while obligingly submitting to the usurpation of all that is decent and right by the very human-rights-abusing countries of the world whose agendas continue to foment dissension and violence.
