Peter, I’m interested that you see that these people doing evil might actually want to do good. I’d go a little further — they might even think they’re doing good, although it makes no sense to you and me. Their ability to focus on their “objectives” while ignoring the horror and their (our, aughh!) responsibility is one of the symptoms of the dissociation that is itself so evil. And then there’s the astonishing immaturity of world leaders who believe solutions include violence, coercion, chauvinism, revenge, and greed. So much painful and scary; we fight also by means of our feelings and our connections. Love, Suzanne
