Today I saw something that will stay with me for the rest of
my life. I saw the cold blooded, bone chilling murder of Nick Berg. I'm not
going to go over any of the details except to say that these cowardly bastards,
so self righteous in their act are such cowards that they hid behind masks
while chanting "Allah Akbar" (God is great).
It was obvious that this poor young kid didn't even know what
was going on or about to happen. These brave "warriors for Islam"
went out and grabbed a lone civilian obviously a non-combatant, unarmed, who
was never a threat to them in any way and was probably all alone when they
took him prisoner.
Well, as terrible, senseless and horrific as this act was, there
may be some good to come from this awful incident.
The general public in America really has little to no understanding
of the nature, mindset and resolve of the enemy who we are facing in the war
on terror. And I'm not speaking about the war in Afghanistan or Iraq. I'm
speaking of the war that has been declared upon us by the Islamic extremists
who want to destroy Israel, America and our way of life. They will not stop
until they are destroyed or they have achieved their goal.
What this video has done has given us a look directly into the
face of this evil, this enemy. If you have not seen this video you should.
Every adult American should, along with the video of Daniel Pearl's murder
and the videos of the mutilations of the 4 American contractors hung from
the bridge.
Perhaps these terrible images will galvanize the American public
into an awareness of the extreme capabilities of this enemy. Al Queda and
the other extremist Islamic sub branches will do anything - anything to hurt
their perceived enemies. It is estimated that the recent Al Queda Attack thwarted
by Jordanian intelligence would have killed up to 80,000 people and would
have wiped out the entire Jordanian government. Jordan is our strongest ally
in the Arab Mid East.
I heard a report yesterday that the President of Spain, as a
result of seeing this video has decided to rejoin the coalition and send troops
back to Iraq. In his words "We must not give in, but unite, in order
to face and defeat this foe together.
Another, telling clue that there might be some good from this
terrible act is the damage control being spun out by various terrorists groups
across the globe. Osama Bin Laden has decried this act, and promised an investigation.
Hamas has condemned the Berg murder as unjustified and not representative
of Islam.
Now, I hope you don't believe for even a moment that the man
responsible for the deaths of over 4000 innocent civilians or the group that
sends 16 year olds to board buses and blow up Israeli women and children are
actually concerned about the brutality of the Berg murder.
Well actually they are concerned. They are concerned about the
reaction of the Americans, the West (Europe) and even their own Arab view
of such an act. Blowing up buildings, buses or planes is one thing. Looking
directly into the eyes of an innocent, terrified man as his head is being
sawed from his body is something completely different. These terrorist A holes
are damn scared of the reaction this act has caused through out the world.
This was not the first person these cowards have killed in this
manner and I guarantee it will not be the last. But, I believe it will be
the last time we will see it broadcast to the rest of the world.
My heart goes out to Nick Berg's family and I hope that his
death may be the spark needed to get the rest of the world shocked out of
complacency and convinced to join us in a collective effort and resolve to
eradicate this terrible enemy. Perhaps in time, no more innocents will be
murdered by such cowards and Nick Berg's life will not have been completely
in vain.
