Who, I might add, were both present in downtown Oslo not all that long after the bomb there went off.

I don't expect you to understand, however. You don't know us, and you don't know how we think.

I don't blame the system for the actions of the mad man. I blame them for the extremely poor reaction. The fact that law enforcement units in Norway did not have as basic tool as a helicopter, is not excusable and the system is to be blamed for it. Also one can argue that having only two armed units in the country was a shortcoming, as Delta was obviously bussy in Oslo and didn't have enough people in time to send to the island.

I can't say I know Norway, but I've been there quite a few times. I've been from Oslo, to Bergen, Trondheim, Tromsø , all the way up to Nordkapp. Awesome country and great people. But I think the leaders were quite naive about law enforcement needs.
