Moore?

Blackfive pointed out this little gem and I just had to go read it for myself.

09/19/01 ...

When we decide to help improve these billions of people’s lives, we will pull the rug out from under the terrorists who need those they send to their deaths to be poor and exploited and angry at us. The multi-millionaire bin Laden isn’t going to give up HIS life!

When all the people in the Middle East have food on the table, a decent home, a good job, and democratic control over their own lives, who among them is going to be convinced to sacrifice his life by crashing himself into a tall office building?

Sure, there will always be those who go insane and kill without reason. The British saw that in a Dunblane schoolyard, we saw it in Oklahoma City. There will always be religious fanatics willing to kill and be killed because they believe God has so ordered them. Ask the families of the assassinated women’s clinics’ doctors in Buffalo and Florida about those willing to commit evil in the name of religion in America.

Emphasis added - mine. Sounds sensible, right? Kinda sounds like our current Iraqi policy, right? Right? You'd never guess who wrote that.

Momentary lapses into reason don't mean that a lunatic is sane. Or, as my papa used to say "Even a rabid dog will occasionally lick its balls".
