Ramblings - Thoughts on Norway Mass Murder

Alright, I know my posts haven't had much substance lately and to everyone following I do apologize. Maybe this will redeem some of that.
I'd like to share my thoughts on the recent incident where upwards of 80 to 90 teens were killed by a single man in Utøya, Norway.
My condolences go out to them, the ones affected and to those about to be affected by the reprecussions of this mans actions.
On the other hand, I'm tired of seeing every European stick up for what happened while there was blatant disregard for 9/11. Yes, I am American, and most people would think I'm some redneck hick. One citizen does not speak for all, one state does not speak for all. And I realize not everyone was bashing 9/11 when it happened, but plenty of people were telling us to quit our whining. I don't want to group everyone in the same pile, but generalization and stereotypes happen to us, so lets return the favor, shall we? I'll probably end up sounding like a huge dick in this post, but this is my opinion.
Welcome to the club. A tragedy has befallen your country, your nation. And now it really hits home.
To those who reside in Norway you have my full respect and condolences, but just know that your country is not above attacks of this nature; no one is.
If the world would quit its hipster-like elitism and superiority complex, maybe peace would be a step closer for us all.
If I had my choice, maybe I wouldn't be in the US. But I was born here, I live here, I am a law-abiding citizen. I may not be a nationalistic moron, but I'm here and make the best of it.
