'Die Iraqi scum?' Really...
First of all, 'that guy' is named Nick Berg. And his father Michael Berg would certainly disagree with most of the posts in this thread.
Michael Berg used the spotlight that was cast upon him to communicate a message of understanding and tolerance. And what happened? He was completely subjugated by the mainstream media. They ignored him, totally and utterly.
And yet the major right-wing media outlets use Nick Berg's death to perpetuate a message of hate and to make people think 'Die, Iraqi scum' whenever they think about this tragic event.
This is the same attitude that leads to terrorism. When you generalize a whole people by subtly making connections in your mind (i.e. 'The Iraqis did this'), you begin to see the millions of people living in Iraq as 'the enemy.'
Makes you want to hurt them, to exact revenge, doesn't it? Well, now you know how those (few and far-between) terrorists in the Middle East feel when they hear about (for example) prisoner abuse at Abu-Ghraib.
