Michael Berg is a true American and should be treated as such
The article linked above contains the words of Michael Berg that CNN cut from their broadcasts throughout the day after Berg spoke them after al-Zarqawi's death. Apparently, CNN felt that Berg wasn't cuddling their Fuehrer enough, so they didn't want Americans to hear it...because they too might take his thoughts and opinions and run with it. Well, I think Michael Berg represents what America is all about. Americans are not barbarians. He believes that an eye-for-an-eye is not good policy no matter what the reason for revenge is. Michael Berg is a true American to feel that way. We, Americans, have always felt a sincere closeness to our country because we always felt our leaders would chose to the right thing to do in our good name. We never expected our leaders to allow a "Pearl Harbor" attack on our country that killed close to 3,000 people, so they could start illegal wars abroad to line the pockets of their corporate swines. Never. 9/11/01 had a huge impact on the psyche of our nation, but never did we think our leaders would use that impact in a negative way. Fast forward to the run up to the illegal Iraqi invasion and occupation, our government knew who al-Zarqawi was and they also knew WHERE he was. They allowed him to cross over the border into Iraq in 2002 and allowed him to take cover in a northern safe zone. Why did they do that? Well, al-Qaida wasn't in Iraq at that time and Bush and his Pigs needed to 'prove' to Americans that al-Zarqawi was the leader of al-Qaida in Iraq, so therefore, they ran with the 'Zarqawi football' as fast as they could and used it as propaganda (along with other lies and deceits) to justify an illegal invasion! In hindsight, al-Zarqawi was an American created Boogeyman, but at the same time, he was a brutal killer. But knowing this, Bush and his Swines allowed this man to kill and kill and kill for years and during this whole time, they knew EXACTLY where he was. EVERY DEATH THAT AL-ZARQAWI ACCOMPLISHED IS ALSO BLOOD ON THE HANDS OF BUSH & COMPANY for that reason alone. They allowed the killings to go on, so they could prove to Americans that we have to be there in Iraq. Propaganda, my friends. When Nick Berg was brutally beheaded by al-Zarqawi and his friends, the neocons in our country couldn't get enough of watching the online video of it. Disgusting! Watching an American or any other person be beheaded proves that Bush has created a killing society here at home. Some Americans love this type of entertainment though. I, for one, could not watch it and I'm still upset today that I have Nick's screams in my head because our mainstream media played the audio over and over. They played it over and over because they wanted to feed the bloodlust of Bush's neocon base (and his Evangelical base too!). Can you imagine how Michael Berg felt when this audio was playing over and over? I can't. My heart goes out to him. Even though his son died brutally, Michael Berg continues to maintain peace in heart! Imagine that! He's so amazing to me to be able to set aside the brutality of his son's killing and to give forgiveness to the killers. But then again, there have been many brutal killings here in America where the mother or father of the victim forgive their son or daughters killer. I never understood why a parent would do that but I now realize peace is much stronger than the act of killing is. Didn't Jesus forgive? Yup. Michael Berg is not Jesus, but he does have that same love and compassion and forgiveness that many of us should also have in our hearts everyday. Killing because of killing only produces more killing and more anger! Can you imagine if America didn't retaliate after 9/11 and just cleaned up the mess left behind how powerful that would have been to the people who hated us? It would have stopped them dead in their tracks from the sheer utterness of it all. Peace is strength and choosing killing is cowardly. So, thank you Michael Berg for driving that point home to all of us! We salute your courage, compassion, and peaceful heart.

Michael Berg is a nut. He FORGIVES the actual man who cut his son's head off....while blaming Bush....who A) DIDN'T DRAFT HIS SON, B) DIDN'T FORCE HIS SON TO GO TO IRAQ AND C) DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH ZARQAWI'S KILLING OF HIS SON....
If Michael is such as saint, why doesn't he forgive Bush?
No logic to it at all.
Secondly, Clinton didn't do anything against Al Qaeda during the 1990's and their response - like all bullies - wasn't to cease and desist in awe of our peacefulness.... their response was to get bold and keep attacking us!
But show us by example please. If not resisting your enemies magically wins them over and changes them into peaceful, loving, liberal "progressives", then show us example by stopping all hate-mongering of Republicans and all posts attacking Bush.
If the Democrats would stop all attacks on the GOP- according to your theory - the GOP would suddenly be nice. Or does this strategy only "work" when America stops defending itself against terrorists?

His son wasn't in the military you effin nutcake! He went over there to find work. Again, do you ever read or are you the type of republican who has to learn by using a picture book? God. You're stupid.
The strategy doesn't work on republicans. Republicans are shills. I'm not one to add fuel to an argument but republicans are!
I thought you said you liked the freedom of speech, but yet, you're saying that no one can have a blog to express their sheer disgust about your president? Hypocrite. I go to your right wing blogs to read them, but you know what? I can't post because I'm not a right wing nutcake! Only nutcakes allowed! Yup, at Red State, you have to wait 5-7 days to be approved. If they search the Internet and see that you've made one negative comment about Bush (I've made millions), then you can't post on their blog. But I let you, don't I?
Michael Berg is a true American. He understands that America is as much to blame for why we are hated in this world! We can't go around cocky thinking America doesn't stink. It's because we've done some stinky things (many through our CIA) and the world knows it. Bush said years ago he would never want to be president because he wouldn't be a good choice, well, he's right. He NEVER EVER EVER SHOULD HAVE RUN and then filled his cabinet WITH THE PNACers! They are destroying our country and you know it. I won't shut up about it either.
