Norwegian Embassy Receives Storm of Criticism

According to newspaper-of-note Aftenposten (in Norwegian only), the Norwegian embassy in Washington D.C. is hit by a "storm" of letters with criticism by American jews, Norwegian-Americans and other Americans these days, because of the terrible anti-Israeli attitude displayed by prominent Norwegians. (And seeing how some of the worst examples of this attitude were just picked up by weblogs, the Opinion Journal's "Best of the Web" and the Free Republic, this flood is just beginning).

The embassy promises that it will answer all the letters received, just as embassy policy dictates. My suggestion to them is that they get used to the job, because there will be more letters coming in for sure, once my American friends learn how there will be no general ban on the planning and/or preparation of terrorist acts in Norway (!) (source: Aftenposten). (Update: Read the English version of the article here. Courtesy of reader RRsafety).

BTW, Glenn Reynolds says that the Norwegian Embassy webserver is down, so here is their email address: oyslebo@mfa.no, terje.hauge@mfa.no. Also, the e-mail address for the Norwegian Parliament is direktor.postmottak@stortinget.no. You can write directly to the Secretary-General of the Storinget (Norwegian Parliament), Hans Brattestå.

If I gave you the impression that I don't condemn the liberals, then I apologize, for I certainly do!

Check out this article, "Bikini-clad Blondes Blast Away," from sportshooter.com, describing the Swedish Bikini Team's initial foray into IPSC competition.

To hell with the Norwegians!

Thanks. That's the Group I had in Mind! Anything I say about them would probably be taken the right way, so I'll not comment ;-)
