My Rage Over the Nick Berg Killing

The fact that any of you want to even entertain the idea of watching and listening to the murder of this poor guy is disturbing in itself. There's something you are getting out of it by watching it, which is really sick.

Islam is as much a political/economic system as it is a "religion". It is a means to control ane exact tribute from the masses, and it is coming to a country near you.

The "true believers" of islam think nothing of killing you (an infidel), your brother, your sister, your father, your mother, your son, or your daughter. They care little if any are in the military or not. Non military targets are now preferred because they are soft targets.

The "terrorists" are not a splinter, fringe group operating outside the teachings if islam, they are islam's missionaries and disciples carring out the true teachings of their cult.

If this generation does not come to terms with islam, the next generation will have to, and the problem will only be worse for our children.

It's amazing how much emotion a videotape like this can generate. O.J. Simpson pretty much did the same thing to his ex-wife, and to this day he's out playing golf in Florida on a daily basis.

And I believe there are NO moderate moslems. There should be no move coddling them anywhere in the world - not in Iraq and certainly not in Michigan and not in Ontario. They have to know that we ain't going to go down like Spain did. And they have to know that good. This is all out war and they are the flavor of the week.

I agree with you !! The pictures are horrific and I think they should be played over and over. The do gooders need to take a hike and we need to understand there is a battle going on in this country by the far left.

[Freemeorkillme]

Nonsense!

It's quite a reality check of exactly what these demon worshipers want for the West.

[vandykelastone]

You miserable son of a b@tch. God should only help you if anyone ever finds out where you are. Sorry, Jim.

[sonserae]

Everyday thousands of people kill innocent babies with more mutilation than what happened here....but to the left it's called a "choice".

[PISANO]

I support our President but I really hope he hears and feels America's rage today!

Shortly after 911, I went to a web site that had vidoes of the Taliban and Bin Laden's minions in action against the Soviets during their occupation of Afghanistan. I knew we were going there and I wanted to 'see' our enemy.

I am a Vietnam Vet and have seen some pretty awful things but there I saw a decapitation video of a young soviet soldier. It was SLOW and methodical, sickening and distrubing, and I too thought that could be my son. I also wondered if his parents saw their son's death? I will never watch another but when Daniel Pearl was killed and now Mr. Berg it brings back that 'sickening' feeling of emptiness and nausea.

I wish the utter HORROR of this act could be HARNESSED and that we as a nation would come together against the COMMON enemy, rather than this petty political game the leftists play, and calmly go about ANNIHILATING every Islamist in the world.

They SHOULD show it EVERYWHERE. In my mind these liberal SOBS are nothing more than enemies of this country, who have sided time and time again with these animals, even now are trying to blame this on the US, "Oh the US gave Nick Berg to them. It`s the fault of the US" People just have to take one look at that video and realize that these animals do this stuff ALL the time, and no matter how hard liberals try to brush it under the rug, like they did with 911 "Oh 911 is soo soo passe" and the bridge burning, the more they show this video all over the place the more it will get through the thick skulls what we are dealing with here. Look at this garbage, Moveon.org NO mention of Nick Berg on their website. All they harp on about is the prison stuff. They are aiding these animals, embolding them nothing more nothing less.

Do you dispute what I've said here?

[Rutabega]

This author has said exactly what I have been thinking myself all day--only so much more articulately since the times I have attempted to comment, I have been blinded by a rage so strong that I start making no sense and sounding like a nutcase. Thanks Barbara!

I can't believe how intolerant I have become of these people in the past few months. . .I always thought of myself as such a kind person, but now I am so desperate to come back to MY people in the US, I think I'm going to kiss the passport control people when I finally get off the plane!

[God luvs America]

I agree..enough with this sanitary war BS. Winning hearts and minds is fine but only true fear will make these scuimbags sucumb!

[Sister_T]

I have not seen the video and don't plan to.

Part of me wants to, just to know what kind of monsters we are dealing with. Yet, given some of the descriptions here from those who have either seen or heard it, I don't think I want to. I really don't need to see what kind of monsters we are dealing with. The fact that they beheaded this man and posted video of it tells me what kind of monsters we are dealing with.

That poor man! Just thinking about what happened makes me fill with rage!

[Sister_T]

She's right. These MONSTERS aren't animals. Animals kill out of necessity, because they need to eat. What these DEMONS did was VILE AND EVIL!

Good "Freedom of expression," my friend.

Now here's my outrage. I was awakened by my clock radion with KSFO in San Francisco reporting that the father of this murdered young American man was a signer of the International A.N.S.W.E.R. proclamation, declaring the President, V.P. and Rummy as war criminals even before the Iraq invasion!!!

This, of course, reminded me of finding their "proclamation" posted in the locked, glass covered bulletin board in my very own US Post Office shortly after 9-11!!! I of course know our Postmaster and aggressively insisted he not only remove this blatant piece of political crap, but investigate which employee used their key to post this in the locked display board as a possibly treasonous act!!!

As I watched him grumblingly take it down, he was mumbling and grumbling under his breath something about "freedom of expression" being completely legitimate!!!

I read a reply (#35) in your thread below, wondering if the parents had watched this heinous act, themselves. I wonder too!!! I wonder how the father feels as he still blames the US government for the death of his son, INSTEAD OF THE PERPS!!!

I am honestly disturbed by what I am sensing in myself these days. I was raised in 'Old South' in the late 40's and early 50's but was fortunate enough to have parents who would not condone ANY form of racism in word or deed. As I've grown up I've tried to use the same yardstick in dealing with anyone who not 'like' me in color, religion, etc. The overwhelming majority of Muslims will do nothing, absolutely nothing, to help themselves avoid being painted with the broad brush provided by these miscreants. I can only assume this means that either they don't care what I think of them or they are so brainwashed that it doesn't matter to them. I have an increasingly difficult time trying to keep anger from welling up in my chest when I see them in public wearing their distinctive headdress. I am mostly a Baptist, and I can assure you that if anyone were to kidnap someone and behead them TV while claiming to be doing it for the God I love and worship and on behalf of the Southern Baptist Convention the resulting uproar from Baptists across this country would be deafening. They would be decried from EVERY pulpit in the church and on every talk show. For the life of me I can understand how so many Mausoleums can simply stand by and see what's being done IN THEIR NAME without even a whimper.

It's nearly two hours and I am still shaken and tearful.

I resent your smiley face......what were you thinking.

[noscreenname]

I just read your profile.

You have some very interesting positions.

I have always advocated, since the 60's, the total prosecution of warfare by warlike means. To me, shock and awe would have been a mushroom cloud blooming over Baghdad. Yes, Truman understood the 'Patton Principle' - "...make the other poor bustard die for his country". How many of the 58,000 that died (or are missing) during Viet Nam would still be with us if we had prosecuted that 'war' like a true military operation and won it within the first two years. For crying out loud, it didn't take ten years to defeat Hitler and the Japanese!!

Likewise, how long are we going to let the Islamists hold us hostage to our own need to 'be liked by the world'? If it hasn't been noticed by now let me shed some light on a (at least to me) glaring fact; most of the world, Islamic or otherwise, dislike us now anyway! I spent my tour of duty in Munich in the early sixties (before the A-Teams became company sized units in Viet Nam) and the Germans distaste for Americans was only lightly veiled. From what I can gather that dislike has only deepened since then. The French kicked us out of France about the same time (mid-60's) because their dislike for us never lessened from WWII - yeah, I know we defeated Fascism and 'liberated' them but we also exposed just how deeply in bed with the Nazis they really were. Besides, Eisenhower was very open about how he felt about Degaule. And even though our politicians at the time (early 60's again) thought that if we bailed them out of 'French Indochina' they'd relent and embrace our proposed 'nuclear umbrella' approach to the defense of Europe and not go nuclear in their own right. Guess what? Being nice to them didn't help. Just like trying to appease the world now won't help.

Terrorist understand terror. So take it to them. Bounce the rubble, salt the earth and move on.
