Uncle Chom.

No doubt he would have been far happier if Bush had died today instead of al-Zarqawi.

I don't even know where to go on this one.

I wonder what Ann Coulter thinks?

s'okay, comrade. I'm drawing enough comfort for the two of us.

Nick Berg's father is a total psycho. He should marry Cindy Sheehan.

It's fortunate that stupidity is not fatal. Fortunate for Mr. Berg, that is.

The Zarkman has just assumed room temperature, but the AP isn't happy.

Just ignore the wretch.

Why would the media even bother with this lunatic?

“The death of Mr. Zarqawi means a continuation of the violence and revenge that took the life of my son,” he said. “This will mean an increase in violence and resistance to the occupation of Iraq by the US military.”

But if we left him alive, peace would have broken out all over the globe and we'd all be friends. It's all Bush's fault.

So, has Cindy Sheehag chimed in yet?

Is his moral authority absolute?

Authority corrupts. Absolute moral authority corrups absolutely.

I wonder if this can be medicated...

It is hard to put into words the contempt I feel for this guy.

#13

You know, I PIMF'd that and still got it wrong. Damn I hate mornings.

Mr. Berg is a sad relic of his generation. The "Baby Boomers" aren't, for the most part, operating from a point of reason. The man cut your son's head off, Mr. Berg! Anyone who does that is irredeemable, no matter how much you might sing "kumbaya" with him.

Somehow, I would have expected no less from this POS. Nick Berg deserved a better father and his memory deserves better.

Joel (#6) has it right. As long as both of them are neutered, first. The idea of them reproducing together is frightening.

Of course, they are so mutated that their offspring, should they conceive, would probably be have multiple genetic anomalies incompatible with life.

According to General Berg, the proper military tactic to deal with monsters like Zarqawi is to gently slide a flower into the barrel of their AK47s.

Sharona, I'm a baby boomer and so are most of my friends. Trust me, there are many of us who have regained our moral compasses.

If Berg wanted to go all Christian in the turn-the-other-cheek mode, I could sort of respect that and admire his choice to forgive his son's murderer.

But you can't forgive the actual murderer in Christian manner while simultaneously spewing hatred and calling the leader who is trying to make us all safer a murderer.

No, Mr. Berg, you have no moral high ground.

with fathers (and mothers) like that, who needs enemies...

Violence will continue? well not from once source, even though he couldn't handle a gun worth s#!t

Classic Bush derangement syndrome on display.

The Suburban Crusader

Berg's father must be mentally ill.
How do you not celebrate the death of the person who sawed off your son's head?

Michael Berg and Cindy Sheehan: proof that the loss of a child can cause people to go off the deep end. Sad.

Sorry about your loss, but you're a fucking idiot. This guy is the actual guy who cut off your son's head and you can't think of anything to say other than blame Bush. As with the Jersey widows and sheehan, you lost your moral authority when you opened your mouth and started talking politics.

For me, I'm locking forward to worms skullfucking that douche for an eternity with his "where are all my vigins" corpse laying on the wrong side of the grass each and every glorious moment.

"The death of every human being is a tragedy"

Wrong.

Dipshit.

I hope your murdered son comes back to haunt you.

Nick Berg's father is a P O S. He disgraces the name of his martyred son. If anyone knew something of the biography of Nick Berg, one would know what a loss for humanity his murder was. Nick Berg was an Orthodox Jew; a magnificent athlete; an engineering genius; and someone who was pro Capitalist because he believed that Capitalism -- not Socialism -- would be the best way to benefit humanity. This put his philosophy at odds with his Collectivist, Socialist father.

[Link: www.jewishpress.com...]

Since 9/11 I have slowly come to realize that a large percentage of the human population is incapable of rational thought.

Mr. Berg is a very sick man.

Nick Berg's father continues to disgrace the memory of his son.

I thought Sheehan was bad. This man really is a POS.

The death of every human being is a tragedy.

So fly to Iraq with Ramsey Clark and Cindy Sheehan and put flowers on Zarqawi's grave. You putz.

I used to think that way "The death of every human being is a tragedy" back maybe in 7th or 8th grade. Back when idealism was forming and all people were equal. Somewhere along the way I decided that people can lose their status of "human being" rather easily and once they do, no longer count in the equation. Zarqawi is one of those non-people.

I wonder how he's getting on with those 72 virgins? Ho ho ho

I too, am a baby boomer and I *never* had that peace and love crap state of mind.

As for asshat burg let's just say the sooner he joins his son the better I'll like it. *spit*

I'm with Nick's father...i say it'll only up the violence. Ummm, oh I fogot though that the difference between myself and that MORON is that I'm in FAVOR of upping it. I want to violence "upped" until there are no more islamic fighters left to kill.

This guy is a disgrace to decent, moral, sane humanity everywhere. Why don't you go be a human shield, you idiot.

Maybe Pops should actually watch the video of his son getting his head sawed off. Or somebody should make him.

It sure made me change my mind about a lot of things.

test

As a Jew, it shames me that Mr. Berg is Jewish. Ditto as an American. Ditto a boomer. I will say this: it's time for a change in attitude for those in m-m-m-y generation, baby. Ditto Jews and all Americans.

Hey, you deranged Uncle Chom ~
You and your ideology are the Ummah's whore,
You and your ideology disgrace the memory of your son,
You are your ideology disgrace Jews,
and ..
never forget this -
you personally will be judged
by your words and deeds,
as will we all.
You will never see your son again.
Where he went you can not follow.
Have fun with Zarqari in She'ol.

/No, I do not want to soften my post to take into account his loss

I wonder, Mr. Berg, why the "resistance to the occupation" so often took the form of blowing up Iraqi civilians, particularly including people at prayer?

Other victims' families stand firmly against appeasement;

Senate Unanimously Passes Resolution to Hold Libya Accountable
Families of Pan Am Flight 103 Thank Senators for Standing With Them

WASHINGTON, June 8 /PRNewswire/ -- The U.S. Senate unanimously passed a resolution Wednesday night calling on the President to deny diplomatic credentials to Libyan officials unless Libya acts in good faith to resolve outstanding issues remaining from their acts of state sponsored terrorism. The resolution specifically calls on Libya to make the final payments still owed to the families of the victims of Pan Am Flight 103.

"The United States Senate has spoken. If Libya wants to rejoin the international community, then it must honor the commitments it made to the victims of their terrorist acts," said Kara Weipz, the president of Victims of Pan Am Flight 103, who lost her brother in the bombing.

Golem,

As a Jew (for I am too), it should not shame you. For Berg is no Jew, he's a JINO (Jew In Name Only).

I don't read the comments around here often enough to know whether you coined that phrase. But it's definitely a keeper.

"Mr. Zarqawi"

Berg gets the Useful Idiot of the Year Award.

#6 Joel

Nick Berg's father is a total psycho. He should marry Cindy Sheehan.

I hear she's available.

And of course, the Drive-By media gave this degenerate ass time on every single morning broadcast. I suppose I'm being a cockeyed optimist to hope that the alphabet networks would broadcast an interview with any of the Iraqi citizens who were celebrating the demise of this wretched animal.

The next time I run into a friend of Nick Berg's I'll not be silent on the subject out of respect. I'm going to ask some hard questions.

This man is seriously starting to creep me out.

#46 apotheosis
I did, and use it freely!

“The death of every human being is a tragedy,” Michael Berg said in a statement.

In this context, this is an extreme example of moral equivalence.

Very very sad.

mf'n ungrateful deranged moonbat
GRRR!

/move along, nothing to see here

Mr. Berg knows of what he speaks. Violence just begets more violence. After all, look how we are STILL fighting the Nazis and the Japanese imperialists after all these years.

Schnook, hear the wisdom of a great American general, probably Patton:

"If you kill enough of them, they stop fighting."

Geeez.. This Berg Sr. is some maroon!

Family answers Berg:

Sayel al-Khalayleh, al-Zarqawi's older brother, told The Associated Press that “we anticipated that he would be killed for a very long time. ... We hope that he will join other martyrs in heaven.”

Al-Zarqawi's three sisters, all dressed in black, arrived at family home looking grief stricken.

Accompanied by a man who was the husband of one, the sisters declined to talk to reporters as they entered the house. The husband, who identified himself as Abu Qudama, said: "We're not sad that he's dead."

"To the contrary, we're happy because he's a martyr and he's now in heaven," added the man, who said he lost one of his legs fighting Russian forces in Afghanistan as part of the Islamic Mujahedeen.

Talk about a generational contrast:
The Bergs - Father & Son
The Sheehans - Mother & Son

I read that earlier from Drudge and I was shaking my head...

Everything is George Bush's fault !

I noticed that he did NOT use President Bush...just called him George Bush...as if he did not recognize him as our President...

Methinks the wrong Berg had his head sawn off.

A caller to Mike Gallagher's show this morning was taking the postition that it was Mike Berg's fault that Nick Berg was dead, because of Mike Berg's liberal brainwashing of his son, and Nick's subsequent desire to kumbaya with the "victims of Bush's war".

“This will mean an increase in violence and resistance to the occupation of Iraq by the US military.”

No, Mr. Berg. It means they have less leadership and will feel they are losing.

I heard about Zarquawi, and Berg's remarks, on AP's news feed on the radio this a.m. The report also mentioned that Mr. Berg is running for Congress "as a pacifist" (AP's own words).

Who is the most useful idiot? Berg or Sheehan

Remember who Nick was, a young guy who thought he could go and be useful in Iraq because he was a big, friendly, puppy, so who would hurt him? Learned that attitude from his father. 'nuff said.

This guy is a freak.
I wonder what his poor son would have thought if he knew that his own father would lament the death of the guy who was about to saw off his head with a butcher's knife.

I want to assume that the shock of the man's son's death in such barbaric fashion has pushed this man over the rational edge.

I heard his appearance on Fox this morning live. Mr. Berg said that he has forgiven Zark. Forgiven.
But cannot forgive the US govt.
How on earth does one 'forgive' the actual person who actually sawed his actual son's actual head off?
Easy I guess...

Has this twat waffle converted yet?

He said, "How do we know he killed my son? Because George Bush told you so?"

Ahhh yes, George Bush. The real evil Mr. Berg, the real evil.

Mike Berg also running as a far-green candidate. I forget which state.

He's the media's new Cindy Sheehan.

Frogmarch,

I believe it is in Pennsylvania.

Both seem to be making public statements intended to get themselves into the public eye, in Mr. Berg's case, to further his campaign.

But hey, Zarquawi's family isn't sad he's dead. They say they're happy for him. Why can't Mr. Berg be glad for him, too?

/batting eyelashes innocently

I pity the fool. What a tool.

“The death of every human being is a tragedy,” Michael Berg said in a statement.

Michael Berg falls into the category King Solomon many moons ago called overrighteous.Michael Berg wants the world to know how righteous he is. Typical of the loony left. They are more righteous than innocent people slain on the earth who ask "How long, Sovereign Lord, holy and true, until you judge the inhabitants of the earth and avenge our blood?" Revelation 6:10. According to the loony left this Christian perspective is intolerant & wicked. The loony left are better than that because they love Zarqawi, revere his life, mourn his death, sympathise with Zarqawi's family and weren't vengeful against him. Loony lefts are overrighteous.

#29, Nick Berg was a [bigoted word] lover who let Zacarias Moussaoui use his e-Mail account and, according to his moonbat dad, met with "some terrorist people -- who no one knew were terrorists at the time". [Link: www.cnn.com...]

Hold on, let me look up the term "douchebag" in Wiki.

Yep! It says "Nick Berg"!

I believe that Nick Berg is suffering from PEST Version2.0: Post Eradication Sympathy for Terrorists.

Well at least the family of Ken Bigley, the Englisman also beheaded by al-Zarqawi, don't disgrace their fallen thus:

Ken Bigley brother says al-Zarqawi will 'rot in hell'

The family of the Liverpool engineer Ken Bigley welcomed the news today of the death of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the Jordanian terrorist believed to have personally beheaded Mr Bigley and at least two other foreign hostages.

One of Mr Bigley's brothers, Stan, said that he was glad al-Zarqawi "was off the face of the Earth, not just for Ken but for all the people he has killed".

Another brother Paul, who led the campaign to win his brother's freedom before his murder in October 2004, said that he thought al-Zarqawi had got what he deserved.

Paul Bigley told Channel 4 News: "The man was an animal and he deserved what he got - and may he rot in hell.

"You should never be happy about somebody's death (but) the world has rid themselves of a very bad person. He thinks he's going to paradise. I'm convinced the man is in hell... and may he rot there."

Maybe it wasnt him that gave out that address.
Maybe it was his dad.
Your link does say the source for this whole story is Daddy Dearest himself...
[spits]

It bothers me a great deal when Jews do and say such stupid things. If this idiot JINO had even the most minimum of Jewish educations, he would know that "forgiveness" is not something that he can bestow upon Zark. Only the victim is in a position to forgive his offender. The victim must be alive in order to bestow forgiveness. Murder is the unforgiveable crime, because there is no victim living who can forgive. (That is why Jews do not "forgive" the Nazis for the Shoah.) G-d will not forgive unless the offender has first sought, and received, forgiveness from his victim. He must also first make restitution to the victim. Until we are given the power to bring people back from the dead, Zark is out of luck.

Sorry for the sermon. I just hate to see idiot Jews spew nonsense in the name of spirituality or morality, when they have neither. I hate for non-Jews to get the wrong idea about us as a people or about our religious teachings. Someone said Nick Berg was an Orthodox Jew -- I don't know anything about that, but I can assure you that his father is not or else he would know better.

And I agree totally with whoever said that Berg's dad would smile and cheer at news of Bush's death -- you can count on it. Somehow I can't see him getting up in front of a world audience in that scenario and proclaiming that every loss of life a tragedy.

We have a sentence in our prayers, prayed three times a day, which says "and for the slanderers, let there be no hope." This phrase refers to those Jews who betray other Jews to the enemy. Michael Berg has betrayed the memory of his son to the most evil of Jew-hating enemies.

Because of Michael Berg public statements, I can't stay away from the topic anymore.

Let me know what happens.

“The death of Mr. Zarqawi means a continuation of the violence and revenge that took the life of my son,” he said.

That has to be one of the most pathetic/psychotic/self deluded things I have ever heard...

"The death of every human being is a tragedy."

And there you have it, right there, the basic Big Lie of the godless Left.

Death comes to us all and it is how we live our life that counts.

To the extent these mawkish sentimentalists keep telling us this, and some of us keep believing them, we'll remain permaneent children.

Under the right circumstances, stupidity is fatal. Example: Wheres Nick?

"The quick death of every some human beings is a tragedy."

Ignorance is satan.

I am amazed at how the left responds to any event that might be beneficial for the US or Bush or the military or the Iraqi people.I don't remember any type of this reaction to events that occurred in Kosovo/Serbia when Clinton was President.

Quote from Mr. Berg.

He said, "How do we know he killed my son? Because George Bush told you so?"

Hm. Didn't Zarkman release a tape showing him cutting Nick Berg's head off? I'd say that might be proof.

you know, dad has a good point here... if we stop killing these guys, kneel down and let them chop all our heads off, this whole war can be over.

daddy Berg is right, sort of.

the death of any human is bad.

he forget to mention that al-zarqui died the day he accepted islam and started his jihad.

that is the day his soul died.
each person he killed he did in the name of his false god.

i hope they are able to face him as he stands on the left hand of G_D.

just as the POS that strangled the girl recently, that POS died the day his selfishness won and allowed him to hurt others and kill that poor girl.

i pulled this off the los angeles craigslist. it's a great place for psychos. they do not mourn for all human life equaly. clearly, they hold zarquai as the greater loss...

DUDE...FUCK NICK BERG...really...that stupid fucker should have won first place on the DARWIN AWARDS.
He had NO BUSINESS there to begin with. He was "wandering around" looking for a job, digging up leads, etc.
He was nabbed off the street, captured and beheaded. FUCK HIM. He was NOT in our military, he went over there to FIND a job. He had NO BUSINESS there. He was motivated by $$$..money.
ITS A FUCKING WAR ZONE...HELLOOO...

AS A MATTER OF FACT, ALL of the "contractors", the civilians that went over there to work, ARE expendable. They are ONLY there for $$$..pure PROFIT.
Our brave troops are NOT there for $$$.

The "security" contractors are running fucking wild over there, acting like assholes with no discipline and makign things hard for out troops.

AS FOR ZARKAWI...fuck him...let that mother fucker get slowly burned to death.

Wow. For once I'm completely speechless.

To quote the good general

"I believe that forgiving them is God's function. OUR job is to arrange the meeting."

He's a disgrace to the memory of his son.

This man is a certifiable loon. He's running as a candidate for Congress on the Green Party from Delaware. When he was on Fox, and was spewing about Bush killing his son, he was interrupted by the interviewer, who said something like "But you saw this man kill your son on the tape." Berg answered: "You believe everything you see on TV?" Oh, yeah, right, Zarki was in conspiracy with Bush to create a video to put blame on him, not Bush. The man is mad. You have to read his website to believe it. His one and only endorsement? Wait for it...Cindy Sheehan. And there's this:

In March 2004, in Iraq, the American military and the FBI illegally detained Berg's son Nick, a civilian on a mission of peace, for thirteen days. This detention thrust Nick into an invigorated war, as the Iraqis were energized by the revelation that Americans had committed atrocities in Abu Ghraib. On May 7, 2004, Nick was murdered. A video of his assassination was posted to the murderers' website. The Berg family, in the midst of tragedy, found itself in the international spotlight.

Note that he doesn't say who he was murdered by, leading to the possibility to read the statement as that he was killed by Americans!

Go read this idiot at:

http://bergforcongress.us/index.php

Berg gets the Nicholson role in The Witches of East Brunswick movie.

"He's a disgrace to the memory of his son."

His son went to Iraq to make money. Bush didn't ask him to go did he?

I don't know what the hell is wrong with papa Berg but hope he doesn't get elected to congress.

I also think whe should rename the Stockholm complex as the Michael Berg Complex!

I have no interest in having a beer with this guy.

There is an interesting story about Nick Berg at Wikipedia. This is the guy the FBI thought was connected to Zacarias Moussaoui of 911 fame.

While Nick Berg might not have been the sharpest tool in the drawer, he sure as hell didn't deserve to die. It seems to me he was just a guy looking for some work and got nabbed by the RoP.

This guy is riding the corps of his son. Very popular with the left.

#100

"While Nick Berg might not have been the sharpest tool in the drawer, he sure as hell didn't deserve to die."

No, and he didn't deserve the father he had either.

Life sure in unfair isn't it.

"It seems to me he was just a guy looking for some work and got nabbed by the RoP."

Yea, and his dear papa should admit the stupidity of going to a place were your chances of getting killed for 99%.

Of course, his dear papa would then have to take responsibility for letting him out on the street without a chaperon.

I think it good that Mr. Berg has been allowed so much exposure. It exposes him as someone so far removed from the knowledge, experience, and feelings of 99.99999% of other parents that it puts him far, far beyond planet Goofy.

No other father can relate to such a whacked out inversion of everything they would feel.

It's fine with me if Mr. Berg is the face of the anti-war movement.

I REALLY wish the families of others who were murdered by Zarqawi would come out publically and call Berg the asshole that he is. It won't be effective until other families say it and put him in his place as a tool of the far left.

“The death of every human being is a tragedy,” Michael Berg said in a statement.

Did any human beings die? I missed that part.

[Link: sevenstripes.com...]

^ What liberals prefer to what we all prefer.

The father of Nick Berg, a US businessman allegedly beheaded by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, said Thursday he regretted the death of his son’s murderer and warned of an upsurge in violence in Iraq.

Umm... I'm pretty sure poor Nick was beheaded.

#87 Patrick Chester

When the Left has nothing to say, it resorts to snark, as in Mr. Berg's witty riposte about "You're going to believe because George Bush told you so?" No argument, no presenting of any facts that would prove Zarkman wasn't the one who cut off his son's head---just childish sarcasm, with the implication that anyone who thinks Islamic terrorists were responsible for the murder is just too unkewwwlll and naive for words!

Ah, sure, Mr. Berg! George called me up on the phone himself, and told me, "Zarquawi did it! His fingerprints are all over the murder scene!" (Induldging in some snark myself here).

Actually, Zarkie himself pretty much told us all he did it---by releasing that video. He and his merry lads were obviously quite proud of themselves.

Michael Berg and Cindy Sheehan, and people like them, are the absolute lowest form of slime!

#109 republic

Yup. It takes a special kind of dementia to exploit one's dead child for political ends.

Another idiot and his dear ol' dad:

Lieutenant defies Army over 'illegal' war

In one of the first known cases of its kind, an Army officer from Honolulu is expected to refuse to go to Iraq this month with his unit, citing what he calls the "illegal" and "immoral" basis of the war, his father confirmed.

The officer, 1st Lt. Ehren K. Watada, 28, son of former state campaign spending commission executive director Bob Watada, is believed to be one of the first military officers to publicly take steps to refuse his deployment orders.

"My son has a great deal of courage, and clearly understands what is right, and what is wrong," Bob Watada said yesterday. "He's choosing to do the right thing, which is a hard course."

Watada declined further comment until a news conference planned for 11 a.m. tomorrow at the state Capitol. His son is with a Stryker unit out of Fort Lewis, Wash., and is expected to participate by teleconference.

State campaign spending commission?

Speakes volumes about the mindset of libs.

I blame the MSM for this imbecile.

Here is someone who is obviously unbalanced, and has been for some time. The mediaweasels knew exactly what he was going to say before they asked him any questions - which is why they went to him. It was just another method for them to slam the war , Bush, the miltary etc. and detract from an excellent mission and true advancement in the war in Iraq.

Did they ask any other family members of zarqawi's victims the same question? Perhaps someone who supported the war? Someone who blamed, oh I don't know, the person who actually murdered thier relative instead of a political opponent?

The media is every bit the enemy of Western society that islamofacsists are.

...LLLobotomised by LLLeftism...

Zarqawi was a poisonous snake, not a human being. I'm thrilled he'll never hurt anyone again. They ought to hand out bonuses from the reward money to everyone involved in the raid.

Maybe this makes me a bad Christian, but I can't see regretting the loss of an unrepetant, murdering monster like Zarqawi. Nick Berg's father's reaction is just completely incomprehensible. I hope the rest of Nick Berg's family loves him more.

I believe Berg's father is running for PA office under the green party, that should say it all

“The death of every human being is a tragedy,” Michael Berg said in a statement.

I'm officially in mourning now...

“The death of Mr. Zarqawi means a continuation of the violence and revenge that took the life of my son,” he said. “This will mean an increase in violence and resistance to the occupation of Iraq by the US military.”

Really? Here's what BBC (of all people) has to say about that:

Zarqawi's death allowed coalition forces to go after his network - those people who had been used to establish his movements, patterns and habits, Gen Caldwell said.

Coalition and Iraqi forces moved quickly, conducting 17 simultaneous raids in and around Baghdad within hours of Zarqawi's death. "And in those 17 raids last night a tremendous amount of information and intelligence was collected. It is presently being exploited and utilised for further use. I mean it was a treasure trove, no question," the general said.

By Mr. Berg's concept of intellect in action, if one side refuses to fight, then fewer die. Maybe we should tell that to the 7 million Jews who were exterminated in Hitler's holocaust.

“The death of every human being is a tragedy,”

So hitlers death was a tradgedy?

I listened to this retard spewing on the Michael Medved program. I wanted to reach into the radio and slap him silly. This is the most fucking insane sick howling moonbat ever to appear on Medved, and Medved specializes in freak shows.

I think Mike Berg should go on the Michael Savage show, live and in person. In fact I would pay to watch that.

It doesn't really surprise me to read that Mr. Berg is a tool. Look, Nick Berg (while he didn't deserve to be decapitated) was a bit of a tool, too. "Sure, I'm an American Jew, and sure, Muslim terrorists want to kill Jews, but I'm a liberal American Jew - what could go wrong with my wanting to go and interview terrorists on their home turf? The terrorists will know that I'm one of the good Jews."

The poisonous shame ideology of Nic's father was surely partly responsible in blinding nic to the horror that he was to experience in Iraq.
It is incredible that some Jews who are knowledgeable of Jewish persecution should choose never to put the blame on their attackers but on their freinds and those who mean them little harm.

Another soft-bellied peacenic that serves as grist for the insurgency wave. That's a polite way of calling him another clueless dumbf*ck, who happened to lose a son. Piss on the whole family.

I often wonder if this is intergalactic reporting. I can't bring myself to believe that he and I share the same planet.

I don't agree with Berg senior. The core values of Judaism relate to the value of every life. Life is sacrosanct in Judaism. but we also recognise that some people throw away the capital that every life starts with, by spending G-d's endowment on evil.

When a life becomes evil, it has no value and we are, as a society, entitled to terminate it, as jsut happened in Iraq.

Nonetheless, I have not suffered the loss of a son as has Mr Berg. And I do respect his view, albeit a view that is flawed and with which I can't find any common cause.

What was done to Nick Berg put the perpetrators beyond humanity. to claim the protection of the human family, certain standards must be adhered to. Nick Berg's killers are subhuman. Even animals don't kill like Nick berg's killers killed. WE are dealing with a movement that rivals nazism in its evil intent and narrow purpose.

We either submit to it or destroy it. That's the choice. If we are to destroy it, then there is no question of our allowing its leading advocates to live.

Oops, sorry, my bad. I confused Nick Berg with Daniel Pearl. Wrong tool.

Michael Berg is a moral relativist-pacifist: He equates Zarqawi's family and friends with the family and friends of "Sgt. Smith of Lincoln, Nebraska." He also uses false presuppositions like "cycle of violence." He forgets that millions of pacifists have been killed by evil people since the beginning of mankind. Violence is usually based on the freewill choices of people who hate. I feel sorry for his arch-overreaction to his son's terrible death.
