Norway Suspect Says NATO Bombs 'Tipped the Scales'  July 24,
2011 - 7:15 PM  Norway Shooter   OSLO, Norway (AP) — Anders
Behring Breivik said he was a boy when his life's path began to
turn. It was during the first Gulf War, when a Muslim friend
cheered at reports of missile attacks against American forces.
"I was completely ignorant at the time and apolitical but his
total lack of respect for my culture (and Western culture in
general) actually sparked my interest and passion for it," the
suspect in Norway's bombing and mass shooting wrote in his
1,500-page manifesto.  The 32-year-old Norwegian said it was the
NATO bombing of Serbia in 1999 that "tipped the scales" for him
because he sympathized with Serbia's crackdown on ethnic
Albanian Muslims in Kosovo. A year later he said he realized
that what he called the "Islamization of Europe" couldn't be
stopped by peaceful means.  Police and Breivik's lawyer says he
confessed to, but denied criminal responsibility for, Friday's
bombing at government headquarters
