I watched the most brutal example of human depravity when I watched Nick Berg’s head carved off by a dull knife at the hands of so-called Muslims in the name of a religion of peace during a time of war. September 11th has faded as a surreal memory but this time the reminder of our enemies is personal. This isn’t a long shot of planes hitting a building with Hollywood special effects or dust filled canyons of stone reminiscent of some movie. This is a visceral, gut-wrenching, up close and personal murder in the name of people who want to kill you and me. The images may fade but the sound of Nick’s voice is haunting and will never leave my mind. This is the face of our enemies and it puts perfect perspective to the world today.
It makes me want to kill jihadists. It makes me want to smash the teeth of anyone who pontificates on our shores about an illegal war. It makes me want to do something. I won’t forget what I saw and heard but unless you elected to seek out this video you won’t have any idea what happened. But you’ve probably noticed that some Iraqi prisoners were “mistreated” at the hands of some misfits in a jail in Baghdad. Here’s my answer: I don’t care. I don’t care if men with a better stomach than I have are delegated to do unspeakable things to other human beings to prevent another attack on this country. That’s the ugly side of this mess. And we didn’t start it.
Many people will say that we did by supporting dictators and governments by trying to prop up their cause in an attempt to bring stability but it blew back in our faces. I don’t care. Some will say that we did by exporting excess but I don’t care. Others will say that we were attacked but the bad guys we’re going after aren’t the ones that did this to us. To them I have one response: Tell that to Nick Berg. They’re there and we’re there and we’re not leaving until every one of them that is drawing breath and intending to do the same to one of us is dead. It’s that simple.
All the patchwork moral relativism is a joke when you see the example that the “religion of peace” has provided to us. And if there’s any doubt, the answer is simple: I don’t care. But people will wring their hands and say, “We’re better than that…” We were but that was yesterday. But people will say, “We’re there to change hearts and minds…” Fine. Change the ones that can be changed but otherwise give every one of them the chance to meet their maker they mention every time they cut someone’s head off. It’s evil and it’s time to call it such. When faced with an enemy that is shouting the name of God while cutting a man’s head off while he is screaming there’s something wrong and it ain’t us.
Islam has a choice. Step up and prove by its actions that it is worthy of sharing space with the civilized world or get ready for the next Crusade. The middle ground is getting thinner by the minute. Every day another example of their brutality is exposed while our humanity is squashed. We didn’t export this brutality to their shores it was brought to us. Nick Berg didn’t bring death to them but they brought it to him. Daniel Pearl didn’t bring it to them but they brought it to us.
There are brave men and women over there right now within a whisker of these killers who could be hamstrung by politicians and pundits and I pray that they have the sense to kill any one of these scumbags that cross their sights in anything approaching an aggressive posture. I pray that each one of these soldiers has the insight to know that, if given the chance, they can prevent one of these killers from getting on a plane and coming here. And to anyone who might ask, “What if we’re wrong?” My answer is simple: I don’t care.
Amen! I've had the same feeling for two days, ever since I saw the pics of 26 year old Nick Berg's horrible death. As the parent of a twenties year old son, I watched in horror the brutal death of the young. He even resembled my son. My thoughts were that for the grace of God that could have been my son. I want to see those 5 islamic pigs die the same horrible death. I want to see retribution for the Nick Bergs, the Daniel Pearls and many others who died at the hands of the islamic murderers. Berg's death is wake up call to these pigs that preach islam is a religion of peace. Retribution is wanted.
Bro, that is your best work ever and the best essay I have read yet on this horrible subject. Do not limit this to FR. Send it out to every newspaper you can.
200 years from now, I want their children's children's children's children to cower and cringe in fear whenever they hear the sounds of jet engines overhead because their legends tell of fire from the sky.
I want them to hide in dark caves and holes in the earth, shivering with terror whenever they hear the roar of diesel engines because the tales of their ancestors talk about metal monsters crawling over the earth, spitting death and destruction.
I want their mothers to be able to admonish them with "If you don't behave, the Pale Destroyers will come for you", and that will be enough to reduce them to quivering obeisance.
I want the annihilation to be so complete that their mythology will tell them of the day of judgment when the stern gods from across the sea .. the powerful 'Mericans .. destroyed their forefathers' wickedness.

Thanks. I figured I'd just post it here and get it off my chest. There's far more capable people than me expressing outrage in loftier positions to get the word out.
good stuff, sir! very good stuff!
We should give their mothers something to cry about.
There's martyrdom, and then there's what we could be doing to them.
and i do suspect that most of these martyrs' mothers do weep for their loss, when their late sons' 'friends' and foreign cameras, are not around.
In any event, i am not opposed to making martyrs, so long as we make them dead.
.
I am glad that there are others who feel as I do that this mess has got to be stopped. The islamics need to be sat down hard. This savage murder of Nick Berg has drawn a clear line on which people will have to chose where to stand.
The America haters have made their choice. I have made mine. I love this country.
It gets simple after a while.
I hear you, but I hope for something better......
200 years from now I hope their children's children's children look back on the horror their ancestors embraced and reject it utterly long having since joined the rest of humanity and embraced peace. Thankful that America and President Bush had the courage to change the world for the better and remove the human cancer from earth. I know were along way from that day.
The sound of his voice will never leave my mind, followed by their death chant in the name of God. If that wasn't evil I don't know what is.
Islam has a choice. Step up and prove by its actions that it is worthy of sharing space with the civilized world or get ready for the next Crusade.
I don't disagree. It's no longer our choice, it's theirs.
No longer will these prisoner scum be made to wear black hoods, but be forced to wear PIGS HEADS instead.
And photos of this should be sent to every Islamic media outlet around the world.
It must be made absolutely clear to every alQaeda wannabe punk that they know for certain exactly what he can expect when captured by US Forces.
Now, will the Euroweenies and pro-jihadist anti-American leftists squeal with horror? Sure. What else would we expect from them?
Will they consider this a form of 'torture'? To tell the truth, I REALLY don't give a damn and IMO neither should anyone else.
Those leftists who say that torture is making a prisoner any way uncomfortable, what interrogation techniques are we seriously expected to use? Tickling?
Will the 'arab street' rise up in massive demonstrations? So what else is new?
But two things will be clear not only to the so-called arab street, but also to the 'arab sewer' as well as to every moderate muslim who wishes to see America win the war against the terrorists.
One, is that we will do whatever is necessary to win and they can count on America to do so.
And two, that alQaeda wannabe recruitment will dry up almost immediately.
As for those who say this will offend "muslim sensibilities', I say, what about our sensibilities seeing our American brother savagely having his head hacked off while those vile killers scream "God is Great" for the camera?
So let's get rid of the black hoods and replace them with PIGS HEADS. Then when they scum die thinking they will be met with 72 virgins, instead they will be meeting 72 VIRGINIANS [Washington, Jefferson, R.E. Lee, etc]
.
I'm inclined to believe "Black" Jack Pershing had the right idea.
I don't want ANY of them alive to have a mythology at all.
That 'religion' should die. It should have died centuries ago. The death it is obsessed with is it's own.
