Norwegian PM: We Will Meet Terror with More Democracy, Not Less

[moodforaday]

“That the man responsible is ­Norwegian – to be attacked from within – is hard to absorb and cope with. But the Prime Minister and youth group leader have both echoed the sentiments of most Norwegians. We must – and will – meet terror with more democracy, not less. We must not lock up Norwegian society. That would be piling tragedy upon tragedy.”

1. If I'm ever forced out of this country, I'm moving to Norway, not Canada.

And claim political refugee status.

2. What, no Patriot Act?!!!

It's what the US should have done after 9/11.

5. There was no Patriot Act here when homegrown terrorists did their thing

It's very different when the murder is done by a homegrown terrorist than when outsiders do it. Norway probably already has a good security system for the likes of Al Qaeda. This man was totally under the radar for years.

3. Wow. I'm moving to Norway. Good for him! This must be so scary

for the Norwegian people. Who'd a thunk?

Edit to add: Talk about the adult in the room! Very very impressive!
