Egypt and Syria were original Members of the United Nations from 24 October 1945.
Following a plebiscite on 21 February 1958, the United Arab Republic was established by a union of Egypt and Syria and continued as a single Member.
On 13 October 1961, Syria, having resumed its status as an independent State, resumed its separate membership in the United Nations.
On 2 September 1971, the United Arab Republic changed its name to the Arab Republic of Egypt.

Playing a video game would not make you crazy enough and give you the skills you need to go on a mass murder spree. If you read a book, or watched a movie with killing scenes in it, it could do the same thing as playing the video game with killing. That is just stupid to suggest that it causes this guys sociological break down.
