Playing With Tragedy
The loss of a son won't come between a man and his politics...
Thankfully few know what it's like to have a child taken in a senseless manner. The father of Nick Berg knows. One can only imagine life coming to a complete halt.
Unless you have the opportunity for a sound bite.
Michael Berg took to the airwaves for a little political tragedy play, cashing in on his personal loss to take his shots in the political arena. Regarding the death of his son, Mr. Berg apparently felt compelled to give his remarks on of all things the Patriot Act. This apparently was after he blamed Donald Rumsfeld and the President for his sons death, claiming he died for their "sins" and that "they did this".
A member of A.N.S.W.E.R., the neo-communist anti-war group, Berg was certainly expected to be opposed to the Iraq War. But he wasn't killed by the Iraq War, was he? Surely Saddam Hussein would have welcome the young Nick Berg to Baghdad, being an American jew with Israeli stamps in his passport, right?
Mr. Berg, do you have any bile to spare for the guy holding the knife?
