Michael Berg Speaks Out Against The War At DC Anti-War Protest
WASHINGTON -- Hundreds of protesters in a park across from the White House Saturday chanted, "Bring the troops home," but the president didn't hear them -- he's in Europe.
They called for an end to the U.S.-led occupation of Iraq and the immediate withdrawal of American troops.
The protesters heard from Michael Berg, whose son, Nicholas, was beheaded by Islamic militants in Iraq. The Berg family considers the Bush administration at least partly responsible for what happened to him.

Berg invoked the words of Martin Luther King Jr., saying, "The people of America and the world have told me that they have a dream and a vision ... and that that dream is a dream of peace, a vision of all nations living together in harmony and in love."

"How many more families like mine will have to suffer?" demanded Michael Berg, the father of Nicholas Berg, who dreamed of building transmission towers in cities all over Iraq. Michael Berg was against the war from the very beginning. His son wasn't. But Nick Berg died at 26, his head displayed as a trophy by five masked captors, his execution shown all over the Internet.
Cheered on by the antiwar demonstrators, Berg rasped, "When will it end?"
This is personal, Michael Berg wants Donald Rumsfeld, the secretary of defense, to know.
