Norway Gunman: A Terrorist Or Insane?

Aren't they one and the same thing?

Whether you kill innocent people because you feel you're on some inspired mission or just because you've snapped, you're still nuts.

As you know, Anders Behring Breivik set off a bomb and committed a massacre, killing 76 people in his native Norway.

The drug-taking extremist was on a self-appointed mission to "save" his country from Muslims.

According to his lawyer, Breivik was a sort of self-appointed pioneer who felt he wouldn't be understood until many years from now.

He felt he was engaged in some kind of war and was doing what was right. (Sort of like Dubya Bush?)

The lawyer also argues that the guy is probably insane.

Duh.

He looks like a cross between Timothy Dalton and David Duchovny...with a hint of young Travolta.

No. He looks like Carson from "Queer Eye."

Not that there's anything tragically wrong with that.

He's in a war against Muslims, so he shot Norwegian teenagers - yes, he's crazy...and stupid. Edit: Decided to change my vote to 'illogical and evil'.

I appreciate you calling him a terrorist - a term the media seems to avoid when writing about non-muslims - they call them "extremists". This was a terrorist act, and call him crazy, but he knew exactly what he was doing and he is showing no remorse.

I don't think he's cute.  He obviously needs to work out and he most likely has "FAPA."  He's one sick monster and thank God those lesbian boaters managed to get all those people off that island.

You are so right. he is both a terrorist and crazy and there is no difference between the two.
