Remember the conversation, about how Norway has no terror items?
"OSLO (Reuters) - Twenty-three people were wounded when a gang of 40-50 men armed with steel bars and machetes attacked residents at a refugee centre in Norway late on Thursday, officials said on Friday.
...
An official at the centre in Oestfold south of Oslo said the attackers were Chechens and the victims Kurds. Police declined to confirm or deny that and said they had made no arrests so far."
Lets hope this is never confirmed. It would so ruin some of the assumptions both sides of the topic have made, pro or con.
Sorry, Murder, they're not terrorists. They only become terrorists when Bush, or some other powerful government official, labels them as terrorists, so that they can gain political advantage by demonizing and dehumanizing them. Then the government can use them as an excuse to send in the special forces, and hopefully secure the local country's resources at the same time...
If the definition of a terrorist were clear cut, then the Tamil Tigers, who pioneered suicide bombing, would be at the top of the list. But we have little interest in Sri Lanka's tea...
For my druthers, Amb.Tutwiler was the person best suited for this role, but there isn't much incentive for her to stay since they essentially undid James Baker's wing of experience and its role in directing policy.
Conflicts withstanding....

An exchange gap. No wonder we are on the decline.
