"Bush's ineffective leadership is a wmd" - Nick Berg's dad
Please read this very moving article written by Michael Berg, the father of slain American Nick Berg.



George Bush's ineffective leadership is a weapon of mass destruction and it has allowed a chain reaction of events that lead to the unlawful detention of my son. That detention immersed my son in a world of escalated violence were it not for his detention I would have had him in my arms again. That detention held him in Iraq not only until the atrocities that led to the siege of Fallouja, but to the revelation of the atrocities committed in the jails in Iraq in retaliation for which my son's wonderful life was put to and end.

This man is a hero. This speech was read at a rally for peace in London.

1. Hero Dad


It is so interesting to me that since Dad came out blasting Bush, all the cries from the rethugs about his son have disappeared.

Why can we all still mourn Nick's death?
Bush didn't even call parents right?

2. I'm absolutely amazed that more parents of dead soldiers are not hollering
at the top of their lungs at Bush. If it were my child that was killed because of that half-wit's decision to put us into a useless war, I'd be condemning Bush in every newspaper, TV show and any where else that I could get people to listen!!
