Wow...there are just no words to describe the reaction that certain members of the Free Republic exhibited when confronted with the news that Michael Berg, Nick Berg's father, spoke out against the war, and spoke out against Bush. Calling both Berg and his son stupid, leftist, stupid some more, idiotic, scumbag,pathetic spectacle ...it gets worse.

While Nick Berg went to a war zone, he went to help. His intention was not to kill, his intention was not to harm. It was to rebuild, to fix. He tried to create an infrastructure, the infrastructure that the Bush Administration broke down with their bombs. He helped establish roads that allowed for food to get to starving areas. He was kidnapped, maimed, humiliated for the entire world to see, then beheaded in front of the same audience. Michael Berg lost his son, lost his faith in the administration, and made the choice to speak out against this government. In return, he gets humiliated by the right. It is an absolute truth, if Bush did not start his petty war, Nick Berg would not have been beheaded by Iraq fundamentalist. Michael Berg has the right of an American, and as a parent, to speak out against war hawk Bush and his cronies.
