Månedsmagasinerne er dukket op nu og der finder man selvfølgelig lidt om den måned, der gik - et par artikler om tragedien i Norge:
Blame Game Shame
Michael Burleigh – September 2011
In September 2010 Jared Loughner made a video tour of Tucson’s Pima Community College, which he dubbed “the genocide school”.

This is genocide in America. Thank you.” Three months later Loughner killed six people, and wounded 13 others, including Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords.
Anders Breivik is mad in a more calculating way, and not just because he computed the hours he had spent studying or working. He joined a gun club in 2005 lest he fail (as he did) to acquire automatic weapons from criminals. The Oslo car bomb was a deliberate distraction from the massacre on Utoya.
