Norway’s Premier Vows to Keep an Open Society

It's hard to compare the events and the psychological impact, but keep in mind that most of the victims are children, came from all over the country and knew the PM and rest of the parliament, especially the Labour party.

As far as I know, September 11 was an attack that killed people who worked in office and affected people who lived in or near New York the most, and did not hurt Bush administration like the Oslo-attack did.

I would suspect that may make it worse to bear for the Norwegian people, but as stated, it's hard to compare.

The September 11 attacks also struck the Pentagon in Washington, DC, which would have the same effect on members of the American administration.

Did anyone die in those attacks? Didn't the plane hit a segment of the Pentagon which was under construction and unoccupied?

Ah I see, that area of the Pentagon was under renovation but not entirely unoccupied at the time of the attacks. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Pentagon#September_11_attac...).
