A letter from Michael Berg

That's powerful. Can't say I totally agree, but powerful.

 

That is a very smart man. Through this diffucult time he still realizes that this war is a bad thing. He could have easily balmed Iraqi's for all this. Gives me some hope for America

 

*stands and applaudes*


much love

 

That almost made my cry. If something had happened to my baby, I wouldn't be able to breathe for years, and I really admire him for standing up and saying how he feels about it all. I think he's mostly right, especially about Bush. George W. Bush has never been a real father...his girls are only here for publicity (bad publicity, most recently... ), so he can look like a family man, because family men care about their country and their citizens, yadda yadda yadda....

 

wasnt he offered a plane ride out of iraq that he turend down?

 

My heart goes out to Michael Berg and his family. He is right about the war and alot of what he says, I agree with. This war has turned into nothing but alot of innocent lives killed alot of bloodshed, and for what? We are all human beings..I am totally lost on what the reason for it was in the first place. It just gets worse and worse day by day..I'm fed up with the war, with George Bush, and I don't think I am the only American in the world that is tired of all the lies, and deceit protrayed by our so called goverment..All of our lives, we were told what a great country we Alive in, and we hear what we they want us to hear, which are half truths..they don't want to tell us what is really going on..only what they want us to know. We are like their lil robots they can manipulate into thinking and believing how RIGHT they are when they say we are going to WAR because it's the only alternative..what the hell ever, I'm done believing anymore. ~ Peace ya'll~

 

I cannot believe he actually said that. Nick might have been a nice guy, but beliveing that these terrorists actually cared even a little? This guy is out of his mind. Terrorists don't care.
This man should be put down to say the least.

 

Thats what I thought when I read it too. There is no way in hell the terrorists ever came to admire Nick Berg, the idea is ridiculous. I agree with some of the things Michael Berg said in that article, but I have a major problem with his blaming Bush and taking some of the heat off of the terrorists that killed his own son just because the terrorists had a direct interaction with his son and Bush did not. Of course they had a direct interaction, they killed the man. I can understand where he's coming from, I have a friend in Iraq and if he was killed I would more than likely want to place blame on Bush too, because the Iraqis are just fighting back..we invaded their country....but at the same time, Nick Berg went there voluntarily...he went to a war torn country as a civilian with no protection...and he was killed..why is this such a shock to everyone? If I went to Iraq to look for work, I would almost expect to be killed...I'd be pretty damn surprised if I made it out of that country alive. We are at war, of course these things are going to happen.

 

Yes, one week before he died I believe.

 

then its his own fault for staying and not bush's.

 

I agree with dreamweaver. First of all, This is a man who acted alone. I understand that he wanted to help people,but going to Iraq in a time like this? Come on, Especially a Jewish man. Thats like a guy back in 1945 saying to his dad "you know, we sure bombed the hell out of Berlin I think I'll go over and help these poor people." It doesn't make sence to me at all. I am not saying he desrerved what happened nobody deserves that but you have to expect the worst. How can he blame the Bush Admin. They warned him and even gave him a free ticket home on a military hop but refused.

 

I agree with Skip on this one. Of course they are gonna say, "He was offered a way out" they are being blamed because Nick Bergs family has proof!..they are trying to make it not look bad on them..That is my view on it. This man Michael Berg lost his son, in a very brutal and cruel way. His sons death is displayed everywhere..even the very act itself..and he was TOLD by our government, he was in custody,and was SAFE..sorry, I don't buy the "we offered to get him out bullshit" It's a way to take the heat off of what happened.. ~Peace~

 

Yeah, the Gov't is saying this, but Bergnever even mentioned anything like that to his parents. Basically, they can say anything because Berg is dead now, and can't verify anything. Basically it's CYA (cover your ass) time, because our gov't was detaining him illegally, and than tried to tell us that they never held him at all. They got busted on that lie, so here comes a few more.

How can you trust someone who gets caught lying to you?

 

I disagree, it would have been a lot easier, as an american and father, to blame Iraqi's than to blame Bush. I think he is being very smart rather than irrational.

 

This man is about the most stupid naive person I have ever heard
his letter disgusts me ,I feel like shaking the dumb bastard and telling him the people who killed his son didnt respect him.

for the last couple of years Ive been going on sites run by the type of people who killed nick berg and they are complete bastards

they watch these kind of films for fun and totally hate non-muslims who they see as being subhuman they especially hate jews like Mr berg

This letter is like a jew in a concentration camp saying Im sure the SS guards respected my son when they gassed him, and we should all listern to hitler

 

ok, your post disgusts me! I know what you are saying about the people that killed his son is probably true, but to lash out at him, for what he wrote, saying he's a stupid and niave..and that you wanna shake the dumb bastard! what the hell..he lost his son, and his letter made alot of sense to me..so dude CHILL and realize, he went through something you have not, and to even call him such things is just WRONG!

 

Oh no you don't

 

Riiiggghhht skip....it's all a conspiracy. Gimme a break man, Berg was offered a ride home to you know, the United States. He was there of his own free will, and stayed by his own free will. The left's attempt at pinning this on the current administration is well, pitiful.
