I wonder whether out of this Norweigian tragedy there cannot be much water found to pour on the war fires around the world…

Insightful and disturbing….
A WILLING EXECUTIONER Why Norway is not a surprise
A friend sent me this: “After what happened in Norway, some might be tempted to describe Anders Breivik as insane. While a psychological review of the man will certainly be undertaken, I will postulate the he won’t be found to have been insane. Does he have a personality disorder that makes him less empathetic towards others he considers different? Of course. But human nature is such that we fight every day for such empathy. No, Anders Breivik is not insane. He is a man doing what we all do; taking his cues for moral behavior from the community around him. We are social animals, and more then anything, social sanction is what allows us to commit horrors against each other”
