12. It often occurs to me - and to many of this forum, I'm sure -
that overwhelming paranoia and the abject fear that keeps some people paralyzed and incapable of doing the necessary thinking required for diplomacy and international problem solving might be the result of guilt. A deep, abiding but unspoken guilt that eats the soul.
But maybe not. One would think that a conscience and internal standards of right and wrong are necessary to feel guilt. Perhaps the unreasoning fear is not guilt but a pretty good understanding that somebody has done some pretty bad things and there are others that are real pissed-so pissed that the perps know, were the situation reversed, just what evil doers should expect in retribution.
