There's not much to say about either story:
Somalia is a failed state, and desperately needs aid and guidance from the developed world. One can only hope that these problems are addressed soon by the relevant political leaders.
As for the massacre in Norway, I had a moment where i welled-up this morning after reading about it and imagining the horrors the survivors witnessed along with all the wasted lives. Tragic doesn't even come close as a description.
The dead in these instances had their lives taken away by factors outside of their control, with no opportunity to save themselves. It may be premature to suggest without knowing the precise facts surrounding her death, but Amy Winehouse gave hers away.
