Nick Berg's Sister Speaks Her Mind

Remember Nicholas Berg who Zarqawi personally beheaded last year? Remember how Nick's father blamed the death of his son on President Bush" Well, now Nick Berg's sister, Sara, has written a letter to the Philadelphia Inquirer to express her feelings about her brother's death and the American media's response to it.

Some things are unforgivable. What Abu Musab al-Zarqawi and his many accomplices did to my brother Nick is unforgivable. It was not an act of war; it was a cold-blooded, premeditated heinous crime. To call it anything else suggests that it is an acceptable act of war, an acceptable response to America's military action. It is not.The world would be a better place if al-Zarqawi was no longer in it. He is pure evil. I don't think someone like him is capable of any human feeling anymore. The only way to keep people like him from harming thousands of other people is to eliminate them.Before this happened, I did not comprehend the magnitude of his evil and of people likehim. But to experience the heinousness of what he did to someone as good and as innocent as my brother has totally changed my perspective. I don't know how to respond in a humane way to such inhumane acts. I don't think a humane response is necessary.What the media did to my family is also unforgivable. They made the worst week of my life infinitely worse. Decision-makers in the media need to make more humane decisions about what is a story and how they get it. Someone should have thought of a shocked, astounded and grieving family when they made those decisions. They spoke of their sympathy for us, but not once did they think the sympathetic thing to do would be to stop harassing us and allow us to grieve in peace.

Thank you, Sara, for sharing your heart and mind with us. We join you in the grief that came with his violent death. We also join with you in the desire for justice and peace for Iraq....and the world. A peace that can never come until either folks like Zarqawi are removed from our midst or the Lord returns (which will bring the only true peace we will ever know!)
