Berg said he did not blame the terrorists for his son's violent death. "Nicholas Berg died for the sins of George Bush and Donald Rumsfeld," he said, shortly after posting a "War is not the Answer" sign on his front lawn. "The al-Qaeda people are probably just as bad as they are, but this administration did this."
"So do you think he is speaking figuratively or that he really believes the conspiracy theory that the masked men weren't AQ?"
No he is just a distraught father lashing out. Unfortunately, grief does strange things to some. I think the best we all can do is just ignore the elder Berg's statements. If we don't react, then he will drop off the news radar.
I don't think grief is causing Mr. Berg to act in this manner. I did at first, but not anymore. The guy is a radical leftist, crazy to the core with liberalism. I feel so sorry for Nick Berg to have a father such as Michael Berg.
I agree keeping our mouths shut may be the best option...but then again, his remarks tell the general public all they need to know about the sort of person Berg Senior is, and the sort of people who run in the anti-war community. Mainly though, I can assure you that this was not the grief talking. Berg's religion is liberalism, and this statement was a sacrifice to his god.
