Why is everyone calling the Oslo events a terrorist attack? In the States, we call that a killing spree or a murderous rampage...and we love to blame terrorists for everything...

    Based on what I read, no one really knows his motives as of yet. The articles I've read though are from a few hours ago. My point was we didn't dub the Zodiac Killer as a terrorist just because he killed people with bombs. He's a serial killer. But you're right, political motivation would properly classify him as a terrorist.

    The media is saying he was a Right winged Christian fundamentalist who targeted a youth camp ran by the governing political party with more liberal views.
