Ces fous qui nous gouvernent
Should one be insane in order to aim power? Either megalomaniac at some extend to chase it, or paranoic to protect themselves from betrayals...?
According to the media it is all clear: George Bush is an "autistic", Silvio Berlusconi - "megalomaniac", Nicolas Sarkozy - too much "hyperactive".
Is that so?
For half a century now there is a specialized science established in the US that studies the personalities of the people in the goverments. It is called political psychology. Analysis of speeches, of every gesture, personal family information - it is all included in the creating of the psychological profile. Pascal de Sutter interviewed the very psycologists that form those profiles.
