Looking at the news at Dagbladet one can see that all of Norway is hurting as we were hurting after 9-11 almost a decade ago, but what I'm not seeing so much of elsewhere around the planet is an outpouring of deep sympathy for the Norwegian people much outside the nearby Scandinavian countries but rather just the 'cold' news. Am I the only one on this side of the Atlantic to lay down a rose for Norway? I hope not. I suspect there were others but it sure hasn't made it into the news that I know of... but then again where I'm at in the south there are so few people of Scandinavian descent and we get either just the (very) local news or the major medias that all seem to copy from the same sources...
