""People like George Bush and (U.S. Defense Secretary) Donald Rumsfeld (news - web sites) don't see the pain that people have to bear -- they don't know what it feels like to have your guts ripped out," Michael Berg told a news conference. "

I'm sure Mr Berg's grief is overwhelming but exploiting his son's death is a shameful way to memorialize his life. President Bush and Secretary Rumsfeld did not send Nick Berg or Kim Sun-il to Iraq. Both were civilians who traveled independantly to a dangerous war zone, both were well aware of the risks as were their families. They were not killed by soldiers in combat, they were slaugthered by islamic barbarians.

Islamic terrorists are without conscience or respect for any life. They would just as soon butcher an innocent muslim child as an "infidel" if it served their purpose. These perverts intend to take over the world and wherever they go there is death, destruction and misery. Nick Berg's brutal murder was a horror that civilized people will never forget. Nor will we forget that in the aftermath, Nick's father refused to let him rest in peace by continuing to pursue a political agenda that his beloved son did not agree with.

"And these people weren't willing to kill Americans BEFORE the Iraq war?"

Exactly -- and when MICHAEL MOORE and his ilk scream that Iraq's Saddam Hussein NEVER harmed one American, leftists easily "forget" that Hussein attempted to assassinate former President Bush. Not only is President George H.W. Bush an American, he's one damn fine American at that.

It is not understandable, except in terms of gross immaturity, brainwashing, and cowardice.

Mr. Berg should be full of rage at the Islamo-fascists, and at least tolerant and respectful of the president who fights them.

I think the father still deserves an exemption from criticism at this juncture. I can't imagine his pain. Can someone provide a link to the Moore connection? I've never heard that before......

The father deserves revulsion and extreme criticism...nothing more and nothing less.

There's been HUGE threads chronicling both father and son's activities.Nick Berg met with Michael Moore before he went to Iraq.This is NOT a rumor.The father is a proud,active member of A.N.S.W.E.R. and has used the beheading of his son,as a stick,to beat President Bush and revile this country.

If his son had been serving in the military,been with the media,or a civilian contractor,then maybe,he'd deserve some sort of consideration...if he were able to keep his foul mouth shut.

Howlin, do you have the link to the long investigative thread? I can't remember the name of it.

soccermom, you need to be prepared to do a lot of reading. Several of us found some very interesting connections to Mr. Berg and Michael Moore. You will really begin to wonder about Berg after you read the thread. Caution, though, it is very long.

If the Iraqi government sets up immigration and visitor regulations half as restrictive as their surrounding countries, the Berg murder couldn't have happened. Once they get things in order, people won't be running around the country like it was a free store. Our people can only suggest people leave, as we did with Berg. The Iraqi government can now make people leave.

We wouldn't have much respect for a soldier who freaked out and wouldn't fight anymore because he lost a buddy. We'd have even less respect for a parent who was furious with the police, but not the perpetrator, because his son was murdered in a ghetto.

The least we can expect from Mr. Berg is not to make an utter ass of himself by blaming absolutely the wrong people and letting the savages, who butchered his son, off easy.

Michael Berg supports International Answer who declared that the acts of Iraqi resistance were legitimate.

Exactly right,
but Mr. Berg is a left-wing radical.

He's at it again.

This guy's a certified loon. I wouldn't be surprised by anything he says.

Too bad he's giving validity to the views of the very monsters who beheaded his son. Incredible.

I particularly enjoyed the GOP rebuttal in this balanced article.

Didn't catch it?

The GOP rebuttal, for those who don't follow Reuters, is always 'virtual'. That is, it can only be imagined.

GOP-favorable news is accompanied by generous space for the favorite Leftist of the hour to attack the GOP position before it has even made the first news cycle.

But Socialist anti-American news is accompanied only by imaginary GOP rebuttals, and goes round and round the news cycle for days unchallenged.

Eventually, a GOP position article may emerge, typically in the context of "Democrats blast GOP censorship" or "Bush is a fascist".

Which reminds me -- I've heard that both Nick Berg and Paul Johnson were from the same location in the US. And that "certain people" are looking for the very same man who recruited both. Anyone else hear of this?
