Opinari - Latin term for Opinion. Opinari.net is just what it seems: a cornucopia of rants, raves and poignant soliloquy. |

The London Guardian has confirmed that Nick Berg's father has gone off the deep end. Saith the elder Berg:
People ask me why I focus on putting the blame for my son's tragic and atrocious end on the Bush administration. They ask: "Don't you blame the five men who killed him?" I have answered that I blame them no more or less than the Bush administration, but I am wrong: I am sure, knowing my son, that somewhere during their association with him these men became aware of what an extraordinary man my son was. I take comfort that when they did the awful thing they did, they weren't quite as in to it as they might have been. I am sure that they came to admire him.
I am sure that the one who wielded the knife felt Nick's breath on his hand and knew that he had a real human being there. I am sure that the others looked into my son's eyes and got at least a glimmer of what the rest of the world sees. And I am sure that these murderers, for just a brief moment, did not like what they were doing.
Mr. Berg, what are you thinking? Do you really blame Bush for the barbarism of these radicals? I understand that you are grieving, but shouldn't you blame the people who murdered your son? And do you think for one minute that someone capable of such things actually gives a damn about your son's character?
With all due respect, Mr. Berg, you've got it all wrong. And as for your suggestion that we listen instead of talk to these fiends, we did that for years, and that's why the cancer in the Middle East has festered to this point. Furthermore, the only thing that would please these people is a wholesale annihilation of the Jewish state. As a Jewish man yourself, would you endorse that platform, Mr. Berg? Somehow, I can't see you doing that.Labels: Archives_2004
