How must the parents of died soldiers feel when they see all the trouble about this guy (yes it horrific, cruel) and almost nothing happens when 1 of their sons die?
SOme soldiers were lynched, captured, mutilated, burned lively and then dragged down the street. But hey, they were soldiers, happens.
They showed this vid on their site. A hate campaign will start agaist everything mid-eastern.
Just another excuse to finally start their Jihad on a mass scale against those hatefull Americans?
You people must realize that 90% of the Iraqis don't support such extremists (Were they even from Iraq?).
What's shown on the telly, Iraqis fighting their 'saviors'. Iraqis helping the troops, the 'saviors' ain't good television, we already saw that ... so that's kept out.
EDIT: I just read Hezbollah said the assasination of Berg was an outrage.
"It gives the Americas extra reasons to treat Iraqi prisoners yet more badly"
According to them, the perpetrators that claim to be Islamists, bring the Muslims and the islam to shame. |

Just think of his family and friends in thier time of loss.
I know that this is one event out of many over the globe which is tragic and wrong but we should respect the dead and his family in just the same way we should respect any innocent person who is killed unjustly.
If you must watch the video i am sure u are capable of finding it yourselves on the web. |
WHAT THE HELL!!! IS THIS NAZI GERMANY!
I feel we should be free to provide a link to whatever we choice as long as we provide ample warning and brief description of the content. I believe most of us here are mature enough to make our own decisions of whether to follow it or not. |

Get your history lessons straight and learn something about other countries before you reply that America has always been the strongest nation, the world exists a little bit longer then the 100 years that you the US are the strongest nation. 100 years is nothing, Roman Empire ruled for about 500 years, The Netherlands ruled for 150-200 years etc etc etc. Eventually you will lose that "title" to another country (probably China).
Please get an education...:rolleyes: |

Has anyone wondered at all why this man would go into such known hostile territory when he has a wife and children in the USA? It's a drastic way to die, yet I know it's not the worst way anyone has died in the history of mankind. My attitude on this topic is a little different now that it's waaay early in the morning and I have been drinking and partying all night.
What exactly was David Berg doing searching for a story in Iraq without an escort or bodyguard after these photos came into the public eye. Even better, why didn't he get the hell out of there and stay at home with family and do a nice human interest story on the local cat lady?? A bit over the top for a cynic to accept, they'd rather blow them out and destroy a generation of children, some other uncanny bull.
It's such a simple and straightforward incendiary action. Your soldiers humiliated them far beyond the means that any of those poor f.uckers could ever imagine. How do they react but take another innocent man and display him as a an example of karma. And then you freak out, like some great injustice has been thrown upon you and you can't handle the insult. You still say goodnight to your family, you still have a nephew that hasn't recently been blown up by some moronically placed landmine, or misguided missile from a stealth remote plane.
Whatever, I'm through on this topic, it's a shame that so much anymosity has cultured around such a tragic display of human nature.

| quote: | | The society survey found that only about one in seven -- 13 percent -- of Americans between the age of 18 and 24, the prime age for military warriors, could find Iraq. The score was the same for Iran, an Iraqi neighbor. |
| quote: | | Only 89 percent of the Americans surveyed could find their own country on the map. |
| quote: | | • When asked to find 10 specific states on a map of the United States, only California and Texas could be located by a large majority of those surveyed. Both states were correctly located by 89 percent of the participants. Only 51 percent could find New York, the nation's third most populous state. |
Now - there were other countries who also had appalling results, but these are just too damn funny. It doesn't matter what country you're from, if you can't locate your own nation on a map after going to school, then there's something seriously wrong. :haha: |

War is a horrible thing. As much as I want this war to stop I also understand that it won’t. We are dealing with cold-blooded animals, dirty scum, and worst people who ever populate the Earth. They are terrorists. They will continue to kill and destroy. September 11 was the last draw when we understood that we’re dealing with the real threat to our society. They are threat to our lifestyle, our culture, our families and children. I know many people who I love whose family members are in army or were in army at some point serving this country, serving America. They served and protected this land from all evil in order for us to life and enjoy our freedom…and I don’t want to loose them…and if it’s going to take to kill each and everyone of those scumbags then be it.
They give us one death, we should give them 10. |
