Psychopaths' brains 'different'

I read this article about psychopath brain activity and why they are emotionless.
In the middle of the article it said,
“Remorseless
Criminal psychopaths are people with aggressive and anti-social personalities who lack emotional empathy.
They can commit hideous crimes, such as rape or murder, yet show no signs of remorse or guilt.”
“The Institute of Psychiatry, Kings College London team say this might partly explain psychopathic behaviour.”
“It has been suggested that people with psychopathic disorders lack empathy because they have defects in processing facial and vocal expressions of distress, such as fear and sadness, in others.”
Does that fit perfectly with George W. Bush behavior? I bet you it is.

Broken Spring?       : Information Clearing House

Broken Spring?       : Information Clearing House This is a sequel to my June 2011 article, ‘After the spring’, on the upheavals in the Arab world. It is an article that has been painful to write, because it brings bad tidings and offers a pessimistic analysis of the upheavals, at least in the short term, in a number of Arab countries. The outcomes and potential outcomes of these uprisings have also acquired new, very significant dimensions. These include a complex entanglement with the accelerated preparations for a possible attack on Iran, and a poisonous, sectarian aspect that could have the consequence of ripping Syria and the Middle East apart.
