   This is baffling……

   “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.”

   Zarqawi:”Hey Achmed, look at this Jew smile, maybe I will sharpen the knife after all. Nnnahhh…”

   This guy needs help. Serious, medicated help.

   The guy’s an unhinged peacenik.  He wont be coming back down to this planet any time soon I’m afraid.

   Hate is a mighty thing.  Berg reminds me of what Golda Meir said, “We’ll have peace when the Arabs love their children more than they hate Jews.”

   We can extrapolate to include all the leftwing nutcases in the world.

   Seriously, that guardian piece made me ill. It’s really upsetting that such a complex set of completely twisted rationalizations can take place in a human mind … depressing.

   Maybe I’m a little dim, but I swear he’s inferring that Nick’s murderers are better than Bush because they had the opportunity to look into his eyes.

   Can he be that friggin’ blind that even though

   the one who wielded the knife felt Nick’s breath on his hand and knew that he had a real human being there

   and

   the others looked into my son’s eyes and got at least a glimmer of what the rest of the world sees

   they still cut his head off?

   The mix of sympathy for Nick and the desire to stick up and break off the “root cause” into Dad’s ass is maddening.

   He may be the ultimate “useful idiot”.  They behead his son, and he says Bush is more to blame?  Jesus H. Christ.

   The Guardian‘s publication of this rant makes me ill.  Yes, I do understand that the Guardian wants to publish as much anti-Bush material as possible, but to publish a rant by the grief-stricken father of a man who has just been decapitated on videotape seems beyond the pale of civilized behavior.  The media should leave him alone so he can cope with his grief.

    Hey.

    I’m the lest we forget guy.

    No matter what anyone says. No matter what they argue about. The fact this persons head was cut off to perpetuate a religious war, must be met with the harshest of actions.

    But thats thinking Muslim. Islamic extremist. So I’m guessing we should forgive these people.

    And that is insane. A group, or people who teach their children it is better to die as long as you take out some “infidels” is a group not quite ight in the collective head.

    OK, how about impatriotic, or apatriotic?

    If you take all the references to his son out of his mean-spirited utopian screed, he believed all the same things about President Bush and Secretary Rumsfeld a month ago.  Only then, his looniness wasn’t seen fit for the Guardian’s op-ed pages.  Normally they keep their fatalistic paranoia in the news sections.
