The problem with pacifists is that all you need to do to get them out of the way is the determination to kill all of them if they don't do what you want them to. And there will always ruthless people that want to rule that have the will to do that. You think the likes of Stalin, Hitler, Pol Pot, etc would have hesitated for one moment to kill anyone that disagreed with them that wouldn't fight back?
We feel for Mr. Berg's loss, but this man, by his own admission, is a pacifist. FACT: Pacifism has never defended anyone, not one soul! If you are a man who would not defend the defenseless, who would not defend women and children, under any circumstances, then how can you possibly think for a fraction of a second your opinion is in any way valid in a debate concerning the fate and defense of an entire country??!! "Now, China, you better not invade, or else...we'll just have to let you."...??!!
@OminousReason Have you ever heard of Ghandi?! And do you really believe we have been defending the women and children of Iraq and Afghanistan? I believe they are much worse off now than under Sadam. No one can even count the number of Iraqi deaths and now the number of birth defects this occupation has caused. Not to mention the thousands of amputees, brain trauma, suicides, broken families, homelessness and constant stress Americans and Middle Easterners will live with for generations.
We need more Michael Bergs! Just like Ron Paul he understands the consequences of our foreign policies over the last many years. Of course Dr. Paul also knew the consequences of our economic policies.
@roseagain2- We need less Michael Bergs b/c the world will never be safe enough for pacifists to exist with out a patriot in front of him carving out the path to freedom, while he sits and speaks of utopian fantasy as a solution. Time to put away the Lenon records and take a look around.
@OminousReason I think we have way more warmongers and chickenhawks than we do pacifists. We need a balance. Constant, endless wars will bankrupt us financially and spiritually. The people we are killing in the Middle East are unemployed and uneducated. So the only thing they have to live for is revenge. If we were educating them as fast as we are killing them they would not be foolish enough to join Al Queda or blow themselves up. You need a strong military but you have to use your brain too.
@roseagain2- I entirely agree with both of your posts. I just fail to see how these statements give Berg any relevance. Yes, we need a balance, but I believe our puppet government needs more than a Pacifist to cure it's ails. So, speaking in terms of relevance, the Bergs of our nation are of little use, in general, and in this case, entirely unnecessary- especially when it comes to taking any action aside from quoting Gandhi and starving yourself in public.
Michael Berg is a very smart man he speaks the truth and not the propaganda that most of the west and its media talk. He knows what is the roof of all the problems in the world and that Western Imperialism and there addictions to wanting to control everything in the world if its not under there control then they must be a terrorist of Rebel state. So this John Gibson nut job thinks that America can do what it wants and the people of the middle east have no right to say anything about their land.
this is very sad. i'm very sympathetic to this father who lost his son, but his view is very wrong--very very wrong. nonetheless, hanging up on him is pointless--you invited on you show--hear him out.
yes i am very insensitive to stupidity. anyone thats forgives and does not blame someone for cutting their sons head off yet blames george bush is a total fucking retard.
The interviewer just does not allow Mike to finish! This is ludicrous speaking to such an ignorant individual. Mike Berg had great points, worthy of listening to and considering. The interviewer is irrational and illogical. Mike Berg should have stood his ground and completed his answers. Why ask a question when you don't allow the individual to answer the questions? The interviewer is unable to handle an intelligent and most importantly, a crucial debate of our time.
Don't you get it he's right it's not to forgive the man who beheaded his son but look how many people have died cause Bush and his Administration had killed so many of them they are WAR CRIMINALS
michael berg is so out there. i think he has become dellusional due to his son being beheaded on video. on one video he says he FORGAVE zaqwari for cutting his sons head off yet he hates george bush. he just may need to go join al-qaeda himself
Al qaeda baked an 11 year old boy in an oven, thats his closing line, youre giving alot of space to some people who would bake an 11 year old boy, jhon gibson is so full of shit try to find any evidence that the last statement is based on any fact whatsoever, its just more propaganda, more lies, more stories intended to provoke anger,disgust,and angst in the U.S people towards Iraq. 911 was an inside job, if you cant see that you will soon when Obama brings the nation to its knees
I agree that this Gibson chap is a tool; however, regarding your thoughts on Obama, to predict the future is just as silly. Obama is picking up the pieces of Bush's destruction. Time will tell and I have nothing but hope for the future.
@ 6:30 who the fuk is america to set boundaries in other countries? they aint shit, get the fuk out of other countries, and like mike berg says all this shit will stop. John Gibson is a fukin idiot, i wish he would write me give me a # i can call him at and tell him what the truth is and what mike berg says is true, they attacked the U.S cause america is in their country and they need to get out.
his son was butchered you pieces of shit, how dare u talk about Mike Berg, if it wasnt for that bush and cheney terrorists, he would still be alive. Fuk u, allah akbar, and go fuk yourself
I find it interesting that, when viewed from a economic perspective, he obviously doesn't understand the implications his ideal "treaty of Versailles" would have had. In such a scenario, as he seemed to imply, he would have wanted the Germans dying, and starving to death (which was what was happening anyway, but he's too self righteous to open a history book to know that), which in turn would seem to contradict this supposed philosophy of pacifism that he naively tries to apply to everything.
We can't negotiate with Al Qaeda. Al Qaeda believes that anyone who doesn't pray to Mecca should be dead. You see to Al Qaeda, there is no logic, there is only Islam.
Al Qaeda has no diplomats. Al Qaeda is not a country or a government. You see there is no one to negotiate with and nothing to negotiate for. Al Qaeda's, and other like-minded groups', purpose and mission are clear. How can anyone deny this?
@curtin1234567 Not true at all if you dont pray is basically a non muslim you will have a to pay a small tax of around 2.5 % and your life and wealth will be protected, unlike the capitalist system you are living in where society is being ripped of.
Basically he's saying we shouldn't have engaged in WW2, Kuwait, Korea, Vietnam. Let more powerful neighbors invade their neighbors. Stop being Peter Pumpkin head and we'll be safe.
I love watching liberal americans look like jackasses and attacking there own government. It just makes me feel comfortable knowing no matter what my muslim freedom fighting brothers do retarded americunts like nicks dad will blame there country no matter what we do. Just one more reason why the US is doomed as a nation:)
Man, this guy is an idiot. He's wanting to "negotiate" with people who going around beheading people and putting bombs on children? What WORLD is he living in? "If we completely pulled out there would be no more attacks from the Middle East" yeah, and pigs would suddenly fly.
although i don't agree with negotiating with such people, i do agree that our actions around the middle east perpetuate the violence that is directed against us. You certainly must remember how the 1993 world trade center bombing plotter includes in his requests that the US pull out of the middle east and the same has been mentioned by Al-Qaeda.
The fact that we do not heed to such demands is a selling point for Al-Qaeda - people are attracted to them for their willingness to stand up against the US military having its nose in their business. Though their actions are very unjust, lets establish the causation relationships here - that although their responses are certainly heinous, their basic demands of us pulling out is more-or-less legitimate.
we should realize that our presence their is the starting point, the stimulus for middle-eastern anger. Thus we should remove the cause rather than be cursed to constantly grapple with middle eastern resentment. Remember how we started things such as back with the 1953 coup against the democratically elected iranian leader.
Remember how the US supplied weapons to Iraq against Iran. Alliance with Saudi Government. So now we lack the moral high ground to say: "lets occupy these countries to prevent them from attacking us in response to our meddling in their affairs. Further, lets keep our bases there to prevent them from attacking us in response for...having our bases there to begin with.
(-1-) Mr. Berg is correct with wanting to negotiate. My son and I are part of an organization that too, believes in diplomacy and negotiation with "all nations" (MajorCare. org -- "Son Addresses Al Qaeda"). After all, remember the proverb that got the farmer to remove his jacket? The wind and sun made a bet. The wind tried with force by using air, but lost. The sun however, won with persuasion using heat. (CONTINUED to -2-)
(4) For a reality check, we must switch places and ask ourselves, what would it be like if the Russians for example, would do and say- everything that we (Americans) do. If that answer comes back any other than acceptable, then we must re-evaluate our state of arrogance. --Ace Anderson--
(3) We cannot have this arrogance that we are better than all nations (although, I am so grateful and proud to have been born an American) and yes, technologically (military), and economically, we are leaders. But we must be more humble about it! (CONTINUED to -4-)
(-2-) Revenge, hate, and war will get us into conflicts for thousands of years to come (remember, since even before crusades). Peace and diplomacy (negotiation), with caring actions can end this permanently, but only with all nations' cooperation (United Nations). (CONTINUED to -3-)
Shit... Michael Berg has BALLS! I totally admire Mr. Berg to stand his ground while this gibson clown tries to put words in his mouth.
If one middle east country delivers the son of a president of another middle east country after this son has been burned in an oven, what concern is it of America? This shit happens in Chinese prisons every day. Why not attack China?
