When there is no enemy within, the enemies outside cannot hurt you.”
African Proverb
Abu Musab al-Zarqawi is not a stupid man. He knows that he has fanaticism on his side and he believes that the American people are weak willed. He is partially right. Many Americans are not only weak willed, they are weak minded to boot.
You must understand that a man willing to committ mass murders in as gruesome a fashion as possible in order to get media coverage is not someone who can be placated. al-Zarqawi must be squashed like a bug. I think Nicholas Berg would agree, if he could comment. However, he was held down and had his head sawed off. His father is one of those weak-willed and weak-minded Americans that al-Zarqawi is counting on to win his fake holy war. I say fake because I think that al-Zarqawi is a narcissist at heart, and only believes in himself.
Michael Berg is the epitome of the modern American idiot. He blames Donald Rumsfeld for the murder of his son, displaying a total lack of reason in the process. A list of several things that Donald Rumsfeld didn’t do come to mind. He didn’t buy Nick’s plane ticket to Iraq. He didn’t capture Nick. He didn’t hold Nick down and cut off his head. Guess who is responsible for two of those three actions – Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.
I hope that these words from Michael Berg, scare you. Because al-Zarqawi does not forgive, and he does not understand mercy, and he must be wiped out if anyone he disagrees with is ever to have any hope of living in peace.
Contrast the two men.
Where does it all stop? When does it all stop? How do we stop it? We stop it by being first to stop.”
-Michael Berg
Democracy is also based on the right to choose your religion, and that is against the rule of God.
-Abu Musab al-Zarqawi
These two men are both my enemies but only one of them needs to be terminated. The other one just needs mental help. By serving in my country’s armed forces, I am protecting my enemy from my enemy and hoping that Michael Berg will reconsider his ill-advised and naive worldview. There can be no peace with al-Zarqawi and his ilk. It’s him or us.
