Hi ya sandi I was out looking for this qoute from Moore-on and I found it...Check it out ...it sounds just like Ray.

Moore responded, "I like America to some extent. … Americans are simple and clear. They are charming people. You will understand how good an individual American is. What I am not satisfied with America is that the nation cannot control the government and economy. Only a handful of people have the power to control the country."

"The only legacy the war with Iraq will bring is hatred throughout the world for the U.S.," Moore told the paper. "Under President Clinton, the U.S. was not alienated from the world. The Clinton administration did not take a hard-line policy toward the Middle East; rather, he tried to establish peace in the region.

"President Bush, however, has destroyed it. He identified his military forces as crusaders and started the war with Iraq as a mission of God. When I look at his face when he makes such speeches, I feel that the U.S. has become a fearful country."

The filmmaker claims the war was begun only to make it easier for U.S. corporations to do business in other countries.

"The U.S. government claims to bring democracy to Iraq," Moore said. "However, no country in the world takes such an assertion seriously. It is an illusion."

Sounding strangely similar to an anti-government-schools free-market advocate, Moore declared that the U.S. public-school system had failed, as he explained why he thought the American people don't understand how the 9-11 attacks "affected the world."
