Mad men hit Oslo
A big bomb went off a few hours ago in downtown Oslo. A small number of
people has died and several others severely wounded. Debris all over the place and the authority has advised people to stay away from the site. Government buildings were obviously the target. Simultaneously a phoney policeman starts shooting at people in a youth camp. |

Millions starve in Africa these days, thousands have already died - quietly. The largest refugee camp houses 370.000 people and would easily make up the second largest city of Norway. Few give a **** but once a bomb explodes in the so-called civilized world, the news are full with live coverage. |

I suspect his point is that the rest of the world SHOULD care (and too little of it does)! |

I suspect his point is that the rest of the world SHOULD care (and too little of it does)! I think you'll find that the "rest of the world" cares about the various situations in various parts of Africa quite a bit. It's just that they've been going on for decades, despite major efforts of every relief and charitable agency you can name. Simply because such an endless tragedy isn't on the front page every day doesn't mean people don't care or that nothing's being done. Perhaps it's the OP's problem that he needs to be reminded of it by someone else, because it slips his mind otherwise. -- Bert Hyman St. Paul, MN |

It is true that starving Africans were not in my mind when I wrote the post. |

Blimey! The terrorist is not supposedly an al Qaeda agent nor a moslem
zealot of any other sort, but a Norwegian sod. Prior to this piece of information former Finnish ambassador to Norway told to the media that most moslems in Norway are decent and hard working people. Just a few of them have gone wild. |
