Why a paradise turned to hell?


….more you think about it, more it becomes surreal….or is there something the world doesn’t know? What this blogger knows about Norway (from the Net) is that it is a quaint little country with not much disparities among its population who enjoy a high standard of living. What created so much anger in this pristine and comfortable surrounding is difficult to fathom. It is shocking that a single man with enough ammunition could go around shooting 100 odd people-mostly youngsters, never even heard a thing like this before, it’s unbelievable.

In the meantime I take strong exception to the “experts” who tend to come in 24x7 TV channels. One man even reminded us, as the tragedy was unfolding in Oslo, that Islamists were targeting Norway, firstly because of involvement in Afghanistan (this stand gets the veneer of condoning in certain circle) and secondly he quite obnoxiously pointed the presence of newspaper office that published Mohamed cartoons in the vicinity of blast. Why do we need these views? Why can’t the TV channels (BBC in this case) behave more maturely?
