Quote:Some people would say that anyone who commits heinous crimes, like murder, is a a little insane.
Small nit here:
"Murder: 1. Kill intentionally and with premeditation"
I'm sure this is [not] the meaning of your reply, however this did strike me as odd. By what you said, does this make everyone fighting a war insane by your definition? I know a few people who came back from Iraq and, while they didn't like what they saw and had to do, they knew it was part of their job. They had to find out where the enemies were located and formulate a strategy to eradicate them. This is definitely premeditation and fits the bill for murder, however I would hardly classify them - or their actions - as expressions of âinsanity,â not by any stretch of the imagination.
