Follow Tablet Magazine: August 3, 2011   Daybreak: Mubarak On Trial Plus, Snyder strikes back, Sendak's new book, and more in the news The Librettist's Granddaughter Celebrating the man who made Tevye sing More from THE SCROLL Mad Men The recent massacres in Oslo, Norway, and Hama, Syria, were both carried out by heartless sociopaths. Why does one of them—Syria's Bashar al-Assad—continue to enjoy diplomatic relations with Washington? BY Lee Smith What if Anders Behring Breivik, who's charged with murdering 77 people in Norway two weeks ago, was not a twisted loner but the country's prime minister? And what if in the middle of his killing spree, when he mowed down young Norwegians and bombed Oslo, the public began debating whether he had a right to rule or a place in the international community? It's unimaginable—we'd never think of granting legitimacy and prestige to a mass murderer.
