While I agree that the slant of the media coverage is deplorable, it seems that we may have lost sight of reality of this situation. Nick Berg was in Iraq of his volition. He chose to remain after he had been warned of the dangers. I regret that this happened to this man. He was, without doubt, a very brave man. It is unfortunate that we are worrying about this single man after he has been killed. Cold hearted as it may be, we need to focus on the fact that we have thoroughly handcuffed our military. That is hundreds of thousands of people that are still alive and can be saved. The sooner we allow our military personnel to operate without the ridiculous rules of engagement that they have been given, the sooner we will see them come home alive. Nick Berg's fate is a true tragedy. However, the bigger tragedy is worrying about how it is effecting our current administration and not our service members. The press needs to focus on the reality of being in that war. How about a nonpartisan view of what our people over there go through on a regular basis. Then perhaps, the American people will worry less about fixing the blame and more about fixing the problem.
