Guys like this Michael Berg are very rotten apples here in the US. And, there are many of them. If he believes that Mr Bush killed his son, God help anyone who enters into Mr Berg's "legal zone". He'd sue anyone for anything because it's always "someone else's fault". A real piece of dirt.
I think there is something suspicious about this as well.
The book written in Farsi that he had on him is curious also.
Does he speak farsi? Also he had a Koran.
Both things seem odd for a Jewish person to have.
The sad part is that Daddy Berg's left-leaning idiology contributed much, much more to his son's death than any right-leaning idiology. Daddy Berg doesn't want to admit or see that. Daddy Berg is blinded by his own idiology. Now, Daddy Berg needs to blame someone. He chooses the right-leaning/Republican Bush administration, so he can keep his idiology in tact. His choice was wrong because no Presidential administration forced, coerced, or made his son go to Iraq. That was Nick Berg's free choice.
Having worked for years with cancer patients and their families, I have to say that anger is sometimes a reaction to a loved one's death. It's more empowering than simple grief and sadness, and it often takes an inappropriate direction. Given the horrific nature of Berg's death, I'm not surprised at the anger of his father. It's just too bad that he won't really face up to the truth, which seems to have been a trait that ran in that family.
Nick Berg Ping.
Maybe Nick went there to get away from "Daddy".

Michael Berg suffers, I believe, from a massive inability to understand the world around him. This inability started way before his son was brutally murdered, but that event only reinforced this tendency.
First off, the whole concept of a "witch hunt" is that THERE ARE NO WITCHES. That's why witch hunts are so rightly condemned. However, as his son's murder so pointedly demonstrates, THERE ARE TERRORISTS. Thus, to blindly oppose any effort by an administration with which he disagrees to fight those terrorists is a sure sign that this man has a sickness. Further, his association with ANSWER - Michael Berg was a signatory to International ANSWER’s March 20th “Call to Action.” (“End colonial occupation from Iraq to Palestine and everywhere!”) - shows his obvious and intense anti-Western bias. Now, don't get me wrong, the guy has a right to his opinion, and a right to believe that the West in general, and the US in particular, are headed in the wrong direction. Frankly, I don't know anyone who thinks that every action of the Bush Administration is correct (mainly because it is made up of fallible human beings, just like every other government that ever existed). But that's a far cry from the absurd beliefs of ANSWER and Michael Berg.
I hate to say it, but Nick Berg's own inability to understand reality probably put him in the wrong place at the wrong time. He seems to have inherited this inability from his father. In a kind and gentle society, such a fault does not usually result in such a horrendous result. In a less than kind society (like Iraq at the present time), such blindness has disastrous consequences.
I feel very sorry for Nick Berg's family - they lost a son that they loved in a most brutal manner, and the images of that heinous crime will never be erased from their memories. I sincerely hope that all of them can somehow or other find some comfort, some way of coming to grips with his death, and do so as soon as possible. However, were I in their position, I'm sure that I wouldn't be so blind as to blame anyone but the actual murderers. That blindness not only is a blot on the memory of their son, but the legitimization of that blindness by Michael Berg's ideological comrades in politics and in the media will only result in more such heinous crimes. The way to deal with Evil of the sort that stole Nick Berg's life is to destroy it, not to accomodate it. Speaking as a fellow Jew, I find it utterly incomprehensible that Michael Berg (and, perhaps, the rest of his family?) cannot face and understand the similarities between Hitler and the Islamofascist terrorists, as well as the insanity and ineffectiveness of appeasing either.
One of those oh-so-compassionate tenderhearts from DU came trolling over here the other day with the charming handle "Headless_Contractor".
No Sir.
There is no doubt this is Bush's fault. If Bush had not gone into Iraq to begin with, Berg never would have gone there.
At about the time of the OJ trial, an Atlanta city employee temporarily lost his job for _correctly_ using the word "niggardly" in a budget discussion before blacks at a city council meeting. Ted Rall did a cartoon with OJ sitting with a couple white yutes in a bar:
"Boy, this sure is a niggardly drink!"
OJ looks perplexed.
"And my boss is really niggardly with my salary!"
OJ looks shocked.
"Niggardly, niggardly, niggardly! And then some!"
OJ: "That's it. Aloha!" And OJ lops the kid's head off with a knife.
The spinning head has one last line: "But it means cheap!"
OJ and the other yute walk out of the bar.
"You did the right thing. No one should have to listen to such a vile homophone."
Whereupon OJ guts him with the knife and exclaims, "Nobody calls me gay and lives!"
Liberals, leftists, the lunatic left have been characterized by talk radio host Michael Savage as being seriously mentally deranged and/or pschotic. I believe he has identified the problem.
There can be no better evidence than the present situation we face...life or death struggle with a world-wide, sub-human, demonic force seeking to destroy our civilization and opposed only by a courageous president standing virtually alone among world leaders, confronting this evil threat while enduring vicious attack by our own "loyal opposition" as well as some in his own party. This can be likened to the "illogical" situation in which passengers aboard a cruise ship drill holes in the hull because they don't like their captain, evidently thinking thy will somehow re-float the ship under their leadership after it has sunk and drowned the captain.
I noticed you posted something about Ted Rall and the beheading of Nick Berg, we actually asked the same question to Ted Rall, himself. He replied with expletives, unlike his sweet nice demeanor on Fox. Since Ted Rall is stupid he took our bait and with some chiding he eventually wrote a short column to shut us up. It is posted on our site if you are interested www.redrightandblue.com, you will get a kick out of the back and fourth.
