Lets be honest here chaps.
If Breivik had walked into some conference and literally exterminated a special interest group or wiped out a number of particular politicians, people wouldn't be reacting to this issue the way they are. With confusion and horror.
If pro-multiculturalist law makers had been targeted and destroyed by a self motivated political soldier, that would have sent a very clear message throughout Europe. That governments need to start fearing revolt from their own respective nations because their policies are making them real enemies.
Had Breivik done such a thing, he could quite easily call himself a 'nationalist revolutionary' acting in 'defence of his nation' without running into serious risk of his actions contradicting his ideas.
But that isn't what he did. He set off a bomb in public then shot up a group of kids leaving a lot of people horrified and confused. Even nationalists are strongly confused by this guys actions.
I'm not sure if the guy was crazy or not, but if his objective was to inspire people, then I would say he mostly failed. If anything Breivik could be used as an excuse for governments to launch more surprise investigations on nationalists and critics in general.
