Berg politicized his son's death, the same day that he learned of the beheading. What does that tell you about the man? There is nothing more that should be said.
Here's some old stuff on Berg

I guess I'm one of the few who agree with Savage. Liberals can't accept the truth or reality, logic and reason elude them, they're hateful, spiteful, childish, and rude. A liberal mind is a terrible thing.
A liberal mind is a terrible thing ... Waste it.
Count me among them.
Thanks for the link !
Stay safe & Thanks for yer service to our country !!
Berg is following a sick liberal pattern of hating whoever is most accessible.
The hooded badguys who cut his son's head off are just a bit to scary for him to go after so screaming and campaigning against serious death or genicidal threats is just beyond this guy.
But playing politics and blaming Dubya is a safe call and allows him to vent without fear of retribution.
Welcome! It is a real pleasure to meet you and welcome your family to America as citizens, and also to this board, Free Republic. Have fun!
I am a big savage fan but this remark is slightly off base. Savage doesn't say "liberalism is a mental disease."
What he says is "extreme liberalism is a mental disorder." There is a difference - he suggests that only the most fringy, knee jerk, and extreme libs are ill. I tend to agree with him.
Michael Berg was at least culplablly negligent in his son's beheading. Michael Berg, the father, raised his son without the defense mechanisms that normal people have. He was raised to beleive in "we are the world" and "can't we all just get along". Lovely if your going to stay in Scarsdale.
As a naive Jew, he went to Iraq just after the overthrow of a violently anti-Semetic regime, and expected to be immediately accepted. He frequented a body building gym in a strongly Bathhist neighborhood.
He paid for his fathers lack of "world smarts" with his life.
If he had had the chance to read "Terrorist Hunter" by Rita Katz, an Iraqi Jew that escaped Iraq with her mother and siblings after her father was killed by Saddam's thugs, he might have saved his own life.
And, the rest are simply disoriented, unconnected with the facts of life, unrealistic, pipedreamers and unserious participants in the essential fabric of society - in a word, useless to themselves and others.....?
If you put it that way....I guess we agree.

Anti-war Americans apologise for Iraq

Among those sending pictures is Michael Berg, whose son Nicholas was executed after being seized in Iraq.
Apologies
"I am sorry and ashamed for the tremendous loss my government has caused the Iraqi people," Michael tells the Iraqis, betraying no grudge for his personal loss.
"I truly feel what the United States government has done to the once-sovereign nation of Iraq is atrocious and shameful," he said.
