Breivik: Osama Bin Laden

Anders Behring Breivik Dept: Why has this pathetic excuse for a man, who boasted of spending an entire year playing video games in his mother's basement before carrying out the worst massacre in his country's history, been granted a platform from which to grandiosely expound his lunatic theories before a global audience?, according to Vancouver Sun. A lone gunman Breivik may have been. A narcissistic socio-path with illusions of grandeur? Certainly. But his writings and statements make clear that he is no more insane than Stalin, Hitler, Pol Pot, or Osama bin Laden could be considered insane. Therefore, he cannot be viewed in isolation. Breivik is a mass murderer with explicitly political ends - a Christian-European mirror image, by his own deliberate design, of al-Qaida's Islamist murderers and at first view, the trial of Anders Behring Breivik is a shameful grotesquerie. At the very least, he should be locked away in a hole far from the light of day, as was done to Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, the planner of 9/11. And yet, some good may come from the Breivik trial, expected to last 10 weeks. For it has early become impossible, as the court patiently allows the killer his self-aggrandizing disquisitions, to explain him away as an isolated madman who acted out-side any political context.
