it does not compute

My prayers and sympathies to Mr. Berg's family. :-( I'm sorry for your loss...it isn't just yours, but all of ours as well.

To Nick Berg's killers:

you've no remorse,
no feelings
excepting revenge.
! death to all infidels !
what in hell did he do to you?
 

'actions of one
don't reflect
the actions of all.'
isn't that what you say?
what in hell did he do to you?

grabbed by the hair,
head thrown back,
throbbing veins exposed
to the cut of a knife--
what in hell did he do to you?

so you decide
he will die
and so will others.
when did you become God?
what in hell did he do to you?

don't understand
your beliefs
or your reasonings
why nick berg had to die...
what in hell did he do to you?

this again shows two wrongs never make it right.
Many more shall suffer until mankind decides that value of a human life.
My thought are to his family while I have other thoughts to those who wear and hide behind hoods..
thank you for this one here
Again the stength of AMERICA will be tested

He did nothing to deserve this horrible, horrible death, Karla; but I agree with several of the others, things will sadly only get worse now, for many many other innocent victims of man's inhumanity to man.

I feel the frustration, and your question is so valid!
He did nothing to deserve it, and yet in their minds
all of us, especially in America deserve it! It will
only get worse, Karla. Be prepared! Excellent write!

He was an innocent man and beyond that nothing he could have possibly done would have allowed for such brutality.

Cowards, all of them, if they had guts they would take off their masks & hoods and show how strong they are in their beliefs...much like what the KKK did in this country...all who wear masks to cover up their crimes are cowards...excellent expression here, Karla...

(((karla)))

i wonder myself; i hope these cowardly, yellowbellied bastards are happy with what they have done because as much as they may not like it, their turn's coming. they will pay for their evil ways! (unfortunately, we are also to blame, abusing the iraqi prisoners; we are just as guilty as they are; and those who have done this deserve to be punished as well!) horribly sad, heartbreaking write!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your twin, karen lynn. :( >tears <

So bloody sad, but the writting was on the wall, once what our guys had done came known.
Talk about a world mess.
Makes you think the world would be better without man...
