Beware the politics of the last atrocity

We are all, rightly, Norwegian today. The inhumanity of the events is overwhelming - only tempered by the humanity of the collective response. But as the media and the commentariat struggle for new things to say, the issue of the ‘need’ for a debate on the ‘problem’ of race and immigration keeps cropping up. http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/07/25/uk-norway-multiculturalism-idUSLNE76O02G20110725  

Where did that need come from? Surely not from the self-indulgent savagery of a deluded ultra-right narcissist. Surely we do not give the debate credibility because he turned to senseless slaughter.
