Paging Dr. Freud, STAT!

Omigod!---the lunatics have taken over the asylum! The U.S. secretly "encouraged" a radical group based in Pakistan to conduct raids into Iran, with the aim of destabilizing the Tehran government. (This production is brought to you by the geniuses who gave us Pinochet, Khomeini, Hussein, and bin Laden!)

Mary Shelley gained literary immortality with her gothic tale of a monster that turns on its creator. Perhaps we ought not be too surprised when our own monsters turn on us.

Ours is a pyrrhic victory when we depose the Gorgon and wind up with Godzilla.

One sign of psychosis is continually repeating the same behavior under similar circumstances, but each time expecting a different outcome.
