Pacifism will NEVER produce peace, it will only allow for more barbarian totalitarianism.
BUMP!
But on another note, as long as the Greens keep sucking votes away from the Dems and never become politically viable themselves, they still have my "support."
Given the choice between the man who butchered his son, and the man who stopped the man who butchered his son, Berg chooses the butcher.
Pacifists in general are not in any way admirable people, they are very often fascists without the courage to declare themselves, their moral outrage is almost always reserved for the people who would stand up to evil. Pacifists as a general rule always side with evil.
If you ever find yourself in a serious struggle with a dangerous foe, not only will a pacifist not help you, you will discover that his sympathies are with the biggest and the baddest, and not with you. You shame him by your willingness to act, and to risk yourself in a fight. He will never forgive you for that.
But Berg is in a class by himself. He is a moral imbecile.
Obviously Mr Berg knows NOTHING about the responsibilities of being Commander In Chief or anything remotely connected to real responsibility esp in time of WAR!
Berg gets a mention on eBay --- http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6637592440
And the other side says the same thing only in reverse.
I believe that a good father trains his children to protect themselves. Even pacifists can make their children aware of danger and ways to avoid it without violating their principles. I believe that Nick Berg got more indoctrination than education from Michael, and he needed the reverse. Rest in peace, Nick.
Yes, at the root. A pacifist is nothing more then a Coward who feels guilty for that. " turn the other Cheek" is a slap a pride, one of the deadly Sins, not let someone kill you or your's
Are you saying that the Jews in Europe were murdered by the Nazis because of "moral bankruptcy?"
Here's INDCJournal's account of him admitting he was active in the SWP with his other son:

INDC Journal Interviews Michael Berg (Best Of)
http://www.indcjournal.com/archives/000485.php
EXCERPT:
Michael Berg: "Who are you?"
Socialist Workers Party Reporter: "Im with the Socialist Workers newspaper."
Michael Berg: "Socialist Workers newspaper?
(Enthusiastically) Oh, yeah , oh yeah, oh yeah (gives
info) my e-mail is the best way to contact, because my
wife probably will slam down the phone on just about
anyone who calls; shes still in a very emotional
state. My son was a member of the Socialist Workers
Party, yes he was, my son David, not my son Nick, my
older son David. I supported his efforts working with
the Socialist Workers Party, and I went with him to the
headquarters in NY and I attended the rallies and I
supported his trips to Cuba and I dont really want
to say (gestures to me) because hes (got a tape recorder)."
What was he afraid to say? Was it incriminating, or is Mr.
Berg merely aware that his utility and mainstream image
as an antiwar advocate would be tarnished by close
association with a Communist political group?
Mr. Berg is a poor, misguided soul. Pacifism in the face of evil attacks, only brings about more evil. Not taking appropriate action exposes the most weak in society to harm, assault and even death.
If Mr. Berg doesn't wish to push back on barbarians, and defend the innocents, the least he should do is step aside and get out of the way so that others can do the right thing.
Yeah, send a barbarian into a hospital to slit children's throats -- what an assbag.
"At some point, one would think, is there a moment when you say, 'I'm glad he's dead, the man who killed my son'?" Berg responded: "No. How can a human being be glad that another human being is dead?"
When the human being in question is a vile evil piece of ***.
When you lose the capacity to recognize evil and expunge it, history will run you over and throw you away.
