How many of you had the nerve to watch and listen to the murder of Nick Berg last week? I raise this question because I've just read the thread on "Welcome to Bushland." No matter what you think the right side of the argument is, the murder of Nick Berg and our willingness to forget illustrates that we STILL just don't get it.
It is astonishing that his murder, easily the best evidence offered to date, that 9/11 was just the opening volley in a war whose bitterness will not be measured against any modern comparator, is merely a distant and fading memory in the public arena. The pace with which the single most publicly and graphically rendered human dismemberment in modern history has faded into obscurity, if a truly accurate indicator of the public mood, is stunning!
Or is it?
The press refers to Mr. Berg's horrific death as an "execution," but that word is a misnomer for what the grainy video actually portrays. The term execution implies legitimacy in our society and the press knows it. We execute our most heinous criminals, usually because they have perpetrated the crime of murder against their victims. The distinction between the two words is clear in this context and the intent of the liberal media equally so.
So bent on inspiring American self-loathing are those who "faithfully" report to us what we should believe, that the crimes of just seven soldiers, on one shift, in one cell block, of one POW facility, IN A WAR ZONE, are reported to us as if they are grounds for Nuremburg II – all to the exclusion of the real story we had all better be taking notice of. All we hear of the Berg story, just one week later, is that a bereaved father blames the American president for his dead son’s poor decision making.
Let’s be clear. In this country people who dismember other people are usually SERIAL KILLERS. If caught, these people stand a reasonable chance of getting off by claiming insanity – they didn’t know that what they were doing was wrong at the time.
The murderers of Nick Berg make no such claim. In fact, they assert the exact opposite – that his death, which they have arranged for us to witness in sight and sound, is RIGHT and just. They tell us that they exact retribution for prisoner abuses.
But we must make no mistake, Zarqawi would have traded in a heartbeat the detonator switch for a small battlefield nuke smuggled out of Russia, or for a truckload of sarin gas munitions parked on Constitution Avenue in Washington D.C. for the knife he drew against Nick Berg. Mr. Berg was just a vehicle through whom he could impose his own disgusting brand of shock therapy on us. We are fortunate that the vehement insanity of his goals is confined by the borders of Iraq – for now.
In this video we catch a glimpse of what is intended for all of us – if any opportunity arises. It is intended not because we are infidels, nor merely because we are American, but because those who would perpetrate limitless horrors against us are basically a collection of psychotics who have found in each other a means to carry out their uncivilized fantasies under a veil of political correctness bestowed upon them by our own media.
If you haven’t seen the murder of Nick Berg you haven’t seen the dividing line between life and death, between society and anarchy –
Between US and THEM
