Comments on: Is War A Psychosis? http://brainblogger.com/2007/04/27/is-war-a-psychosis/ Topics from multidimensional biopsychosocial perspectives Tue, 22 May 2012 08:59:29 +0000 hourly 1 By: Frank Mhttp://brainblogger.com/2007/04/27/is-war-a-psychosis/#comment-600761 Frank M Mon, 21 Jun 2010 16:04:25 +0000 http://brainblogger.com/2007/04/27/is-war-a-psychosis/#comment-600761 My intent in writing the article was to describe war as a psychosis regardless of nation or time in history, from the decline of the Roman Empire to tomorrow's war anywhere in the world between any two nations. It's interesting to note how extremist Muslims wage war as jihad and a function of religion, little change from the 200-year Crusades 1000 years ago.

I suggest war is based more on the quest for power, and history reports women with as much a propensity for violence as men, such as the Empress of China, Catherine the Great, and in our own time so-called "iron pants" Margaret Thatcher who did not hesitate to make war oin Argentina over the Falkland Islands. And, in mythology, Greek Athena with shield and spear, Medea, Shakespeare's Lady MacBeth, and we rfer to Mother Nature in natural catastrophes.
