Two people to start the vigil, nine at the end. Today, talking about the shootings in Norway, we realized that the massacre is in one sense comparable with the September 11 attack on the World Trade Center: the 76 people killed in the shootings are a higher percentage of Norway's population than the 2,977 people who died in the Sept 11 attack are as a percentage of the United States' population.
We hope that Norway's response to its tragedy will be more healing than the US' military response to the Sept 11 tragedy has been.
