Why was the 9/11 attacks treated different from the Oklahoma City bombing?

Question

Why did one create a war in the Middle East, and the other didn't result in a crackdown on white American extremists?

Answer 1

bin laden another nation of destruction did 911   the OK bombing was the result of ignorants in our America therefore big difference    we cant bomb the white idiot supremest in our country that would be stupid bush is white and probably a supremacist

Answer 2

hmmmmm....Democrat in office for Oklahoma City, Republicans in office on 9/11.  Which party would much rather start a war to make money off of???

Answer 3

OK City was carried out by two individuals that were self funded, whereas, the attacks on 9/11 were the result of a much larger international organization, that was given free reign to gather and train in Afghanistan, and was funded through numerous international channels.

To say that we acted differently is correct, and that is because the circumstances of each bombing were different.  In it's simplest terms, we caught all the funders, planners, and perpetrators of OK City, the planners and funding source of September 11th are still out there.

Answer 4

The Executive Branch was looking for an excuse to attack Iraq, and 9/11 was convenient. Oklahoma City wasn't a terrist attack, it was revenge for Ruby Ridge and Waco.

Answer 5

I'm not convinced OKC resulted in any crack down... and 9/11 was not the first attempt on the twin towers... but it was the last straw tho.
