U.S.: Distinguishing between mistreatment and atrocity

Nick Berg, 26, from Pennsylvania was beheaded by Abu Zarqawi and a gang of his thugs, allegedly as a proper Islamic response to the abuse and mistreatment of Iraqi thugs in Abu Ghraib prison. Berg was a civilian who was working in Iraq on wireless installations. He took up no arms against any Iraqi; he did none harm but only sought to help.

So, the fine Islamic heroes of Al Qaeda and other terrorist groups operating in Iraq, who are too scared of the U.S. military to go up against them like real men, captured him and beheaded him to salvage Islamic honor and pride. Well, honor is a rotten corpse in the Mid East, and pride is assuaged with money, blood, and death. Whilst they seek to tie Berg's murder to the mistreatment of prisoners at Abu Ghraib, the fact is, this is precisely what Al Qaeda did to Daniel Pearl, who was slaughtered in Pakistan; this is their modus operandi when they wish to terrorise and dishearten a populace.

This type of barbarity is what Caribbean journalists condone when they refuse to condemn Islamic jihad across the globe; this is what they support when they blame America for saving Iraqis from torture, raped, brutality, and murder by Saddam and his thug-life sons. There is no middle ground. The Texas cowboy with the mouthful of guntalk is right. Either one is with the U.S. or one is with the terrorists. So far, Caribbean journalists and governments have been indicating, by their stances, that they are with the terrorists.

Here is the video. Download it, if your stomach can take it. Thanks to Wayne for the link. For those Caribbean journalists who can't tell, what some U.S. troops did to some inmates of Abu Ghraib prison is to be correctly characterized as "mistreatment." What Islamic barbarians did to Nick Berg is an atrocity. Watch the video and listen to their mad shouts in praise of a demon.

No doubt, Caribbean journalists like Rickey Singh, Mark Wignall, and rude bwoy without balls, Michael Burke, will swill fully from the cup of schadenfreude and rejoice that that's what America gets for what the U.S. Army has done to Iraqis. They will not calculate the lives of Iraqis not killed, raped, brutalised by Saddam. Instead, they will focus on the wrongs done by a few. They will ignore this fine illustration of the difference between mistreatment and atrocity (as says Sean Hannity), and they will do as their comperes in the media have done, and as the Democrat Party and many foreign governments have done, they will blame America.

Nevertheless, I want them to watch the video. I also want American tv stations to run videos of 9/11, of the four Americans who were burnt, mutililated, and hung up like charred beef, and of Nick Berg's execution. I want Caribbean journalists to see what will become the norm throughout the world should the U.S. not win in Iraq. I know they'll shrink from it and blame the U.S. still.

Nevertheless, I'm going to sit back and await the global outrage; the cries for apology; the rage of the Arab street; the congressional hearings; the presidential apologies.

While I'm waiting, I'll demand that the seven American soldiers be let off with a slap on the wrist. If it worked for John Kerry when he supported Lt. Calley, who had committed atrocities in Vietnam, then it should work for me with these soldiers whom I don't even support.

May our Lord Christ Jesus comfort the family of Nick Berg; may the Lord God grant Nick rest and receive him to Himself.
