Looking for: O'Reilly interview with U Dean on terrorists not evil |
|
O'Reilly interviewed some University Dean several years ago who was making the statement that calling terrorists evil was an unproductive oversimplification that prevents true understanding of them and how to stop them. Anyone recall who this was?

"We have not seen the face of evil: we have seen the face of an enemy who comes at us with a full roster of grievances, goals and strategies. If we reduce the enemy to evil, we conjure up a shape-shifting demon, a wild-card moral anarchist beyond our comprehension and therefore beyond the reach of counterstrategies." ~ Dean Stanley Fish

Of course what he describes as an unwanted result is exactly what BushCO wanted. A generalized sense of terror that cannot be dealt with except by a strong father image....the omnipotent government, lead by the Repukes, of course.
