The monstrous events today in Norwayas of this writing, word is that a gunman slaughtered at least 30 kids at a youth camp who had gathered to hear about the earlier bombing of government offices in Oslohave stirred in me a kind of rage I havent felt this viscerally since the days after 9/11, when my apartment in Brooklyn Heights looked out directly on the violent purple gash in the sky that hovered over the wreckage like a demonic counterimage of the holy cloud that followed the Jews through the desert in the aftermath of the Exodus. Perhaps it is that my own daughter is, as I write, at her own day camp outside New York City, and so there is something visceral, primal, in my sense of connection to the dead and dying and their parents. This rage, which is accompanied by all manner of violent thoughts about what should be done and could be done to the living body of the depthlessly evil monster who committed this Satanic act, is disturbing in its intensity. I would like it to go away. But it wont, and it shouldnt, because without itwithout a stark response to something so purposefully awfulwe are unilaterally disarming ourselves. The monster and his comrades have the passion to commit their foul deeds. If we respond with dispassion, we are ceding to them part of the animating force that makes us human. If we decide to intellectualize our emotions rather than allow them to influence us, we are turning our back on our responsibility to those whose lives were stripped from them.
When will we stop playing nice? When will we stop making excuses for their crimes and for our inability to act?
See my tagline...
Yeah, let’s just forget about the Beslan school attack, Madrid subway bombing, London Bombing, any terrorist attacks between now and 9/11...
Either those attacks didn’t bother him or he is Rip Van Winkle.

We are the sheep. They are the wolves.
We have not yet been hurt enough to summon the collective will to do what must be done. Deep down, we understand where it must lead and how horrilbe it will be.
What will Obama and Clinton do? Norway may want to join the WOT. Will Dear Leader turn a deaf ear?
We have a Sick ,Perverted,Mentally ILL ,Dyke,Protecting US and our families from the Hordes of Hell??? NOT GOOD.
Muzzies —the group that turned Swedes and Norwegians into xenophobes?
I must say, that’s really an amazing piece of work.
Didn't you get the memo?
There isn't a "war on terror" anymore. There's only "outreach" to our misunderstood Muslim brethren.
And didn't you realize that the Muslim call to prayer is "the prettiest sound on earth"?
In these cases of "man-made disasters", they will make speeches, offer aid, and host telethons; they will NOT make any effort stop it, however.
well Americans did forget 9/11 and decided to give Obama a chance
The Western World needs to do three things. They are difficult, but not impossible. They will be met with resistance, but they need to be done.
1. Neutralize all imams, who are the sole source of moslem vitriol.
2. Reduce the mosques to dust.
3. Deport all moslem believers to their countries of origin.
I try to stay above the fray on most matters of high tension, but with today’s atrocity enough is enough. The West had better realize what it’s faced with and act before it’s too late. They’re coming and we have no plan nor backbone to stop it. sd
they caught 2 of the muslims huh?- they should waterboard them with “acid”
If we acted like we are now during WWII, we would be speaking German or Japanese. We should have learned from Viet Nam. Our leaders, especially the one in office now, have lost the will to respond to anyone that attacks us and expects us to just fall in line. I don’t think so. If this keeps up, he will see the people start to respond in a way that will close this administration.
Don’t be upset. Always keep in mind that Islam is basically a ROP. Isn’t that what government has told us in the past?
Look at our congresscritters — you don’t see them upset with the way Islam is changing our society, do you? As long as they are happy with the situation, so should you be.
Perhaps a generous contribution to the building of the 911 mosque will easy your anxiety.
