Yes, I know he was an lone evil terrorist white male on US soil, but it happened 20 years ago and the Islamic terrorists are striking weekly/monthly all over the world. IMO, the two are no comparison and 1 incident in 20 years does seem to be random to me (meaning it is not a daily threat, like the Islamic terrorists who are numerous and looking for targets at all times)
These things go in cycles. As I mentioned upthread, we lived in Europe during the Red Army Faction days. Very few folks in the US paid much attention, but those who lived in Europe deal with it over a period of some years.
We were living in Italy when bombing occurred in OKC. We had Italian neighbors that were shocked and concerned and expressed that to us.
