Power, potential and fear

The appalling crime committed against the people of Norway recently staggered all of us at Changemakers. In particular, for the next generation of Norway's leaders and activitists to be targeted as they were on Utoya is horrifying. They were young people with open minds and hearts, ambitions and a dedication to living in a free and multi-cultural community and that made them a target. Rarely, outside of wartime, has the potential of the power of the young been seen as such a threat with such devastating consequences.
