Norway???

Today's terror attack in Oslo, Norway leads one to wonder what in the world is going on. We always hear nonsense about how the USA was attacked because of what we do around the world. The British and the French have a colonialist past, so they are targets. But even under the deranged view of many press commentators, why would anyone target Norway? I do not think that Norwegians had much effect on those outside their own country since about the tenth century when the Vikings were ravaging Europe. Certainly, there is no reason for Islamic terrorists to fear or hate the Norwegians. Of course, many terror attacks are clearly irrational.

Right now, the perpetrators of this attack should be caught. Those who have been injured need to be rescued. Let's hope and pray that no more than the two fatalities currently being reported turn up. Indeed, there is not much that we as Americans can do at this moment other than to offer our help to Norway as that country may need it and to pray for peace for Norway and for justice for the perpetrators.
