The root cause of terrorism? It’s simply penis envy by another name
(What’s on a terrorist’s mind…?)
They say that life is stranger than fiction. That’s probably right – but who’d have thought that life was actually even stranger than Freud?
I mean, we all have had to live with the wild bugbear hunt that team Bush has been selling to us as the ‘War on Terror’, for quite a while now. Which was and is and will remain a truly insane concept but if history teaches us anything, it is that humans do so love their silly crusades, never mind the cost.
Still, I have to admit that even I did not truly grasp what the attack on those twin towers actually meant. I thought it was, more or less, a case of some bearded psychopaths getting lucky. Not unlike a spotty and obsessed bunch of teenagers getting all their wishes rolled & fulfilled in one, when they get an invitation to spend a day in a porn flick studio.
What I didn’t appreciate was the deeper, Freudian truth behind 9/11. As the following news article shows it seemed that the terrorists had an entirely other thing to prove when they went for those huge, phallic symbols. Hats off to the late doctor again, for (somewhat belatedly) teaching us that at the roots of this seemingly mindless evil lay the dreaded spectre of both impotence and penis envy:
“The Afghan chieftain looked older than his 60-odd years, and his bearded face bore the creases of a man burdened with duties as tribal patriarch and husband to four younger women. His visitor, a CIA officer, saw an opportunity, and reached into his bag for a small gift. Four blue pills. Viagra. “Take one of these. You’ll love it,” the officer said. Compliments of Uncle Sam.”
(Viagra’s poster child…)
