"i believe that there will ultimately be a clash between the oppressed and those who do the oppressing. i believe that there will be a clash between those who want freedom, justice, and equality for everyone, and those who want to continue the system of exploitation. i believe that there will be that kind of clash, but i don’t think it will be based on the color of the skin."

an excerpt from an interview with nick berg's father, michael:

robin young: do you really blame donald rumsfeld for your son's death? and will you do anything in addition to the lawsuit you had filed?

michael berg: it goes further than donald rumsfeld. it's the whole patriot act, it's the whole feeling in this country that rights don't matter anymore because there are terrorists about. well, in my opinion, "terrorist" is just another word like "communist" or "witch." and it's a witch-hunt. and this whole administration is just representing something that is not america—not the america i grew up in."
