I think what Michael Berg means is that he opposed American involvement in Iraq, but he reconciled himself to his son's business there because he was an apolitical, benevolent do-gooder who was trying to build the infrastructure of their country, not an American soldier with a political agenda.

I agree with those other posters that he is politicizing his son's death, when his son seems to have been quite apolitical. I fear that in a few months he will be just as vociferous in his public statements, and probably will even speak at the Democratic Convention.

We can only hope that the DNC fills up their prime time speaking slots with rabib, anti-war, Bush and America hating speakers.

Al Sharpton will just be icing on the cake.
