"What governments spend on relief work is secondary to what they spend on armies," bin Laden says on the 11-minute tape titled "Reflections on the Method of Relief Work."
"If governments spent (on relief) only one percent of what is spent on armies, they would change the face of the world for poor people," he said.
OF COURSE, SEVERAL DECADES OF RELIEF HAVE DONE ALMOST NO GOOD.
WHAT LIFTS PEOPLE OUT OF POVERTY IS INDUSTRY AND GLOBALIZATION, NOT WELFARE.
AND ANOTHER THING: IF BIN LADEN AND HIS MINIONS AND THE REST OF THE MUSLIM WORLD WOULD CONVERT TO BUDDHISM, THEN THE WORLD COULD CUT DEFENSE SPENDING BY A TRILLION BUCKS.
LIKE MOST MUSLIMS AND SOCIALIST, BIN LADEN REFUSES TO ACCEPT THAT HIS IDEOLOGY IS THE MAJOR PROBLEM.
He is appealing to his useful idiots, the lefties, just like Ahmadinejad did in his "speech" at the UN last month.
