Well, that's part of it certainly - that it does seem to be one person going off the reservation. Most agree the only mitigating factor in all this is that he is not part of a terror organization, especially not a foreign terror organization. It makes it far far less likely that something like this will happen again, and it gives the country a chance to address domestic radical extremism in the way that Norwegians do very well -- through family, community, education and social activism.

Sorry if I came across as overly sensitive -- I don't want to make you uncomfortable opining anything. You have some interesting and valuable viewpoints.

Not at all, mike and I appreciate your sentiment; that is perfectly natural. I hope your feelings were not offended and that I didn't come across as uncaring. (Thank you again for your understanding.)
