the article states that he has forgiven Bush also. I would not vote for the man to be dog catcher, but forgiveness is a good thing. Forgiveness does not mean that he does not want justice, only that he is trying to move on.

I disagree wholeheartedly with Mr. Berg's politics, but I do respect his forgiveness of those he believes are responsible for his son's death. It is the only way to move on after suffering such a tragedy.

Did President Bush send Berg to the place where he was kidnapped? I don't think so. He put his own self in harms way. I would only forgive zarqawi when his head was rolling down the street and about sixty million muslims were fried.

I never said forgiveness is not a good thing, or anything near that. I did say that from Mr. Berg's actions, he appears not to have forgiven Bush, but rather is bitterly attacking him as the killer of his son while paying public lip service to forgiveness so he can win in a political campaign. Grace and forgiveness are free, but not cheap, and not phoney. Re-read my posts before you criticize please.

I think I understand you, but I think you are in error.
Forgiveness is cancelling the debt of justice that is owed.
