In Memoriam: Oklahoma City
Today is the 11th anniversary of the worst act of domestic terrorism the United States has ever suffered. Political extremist Tim McVeigh parked a truck loaded full of explosives in front of a Federal building in Oklahoma City and killed some 168 people. It was a tragic day for America, especially since the terrorist was nurtured by the very country he tried to destroy.
Let us never forget the victims of this horrible act, their families or their communities.

I think it is useful to point out that "democracy" (even our own) apparently is not enough to prevent terrorism. Spreading our democratic ideals is not in itself sufficient to prevent terrorism. As people and as a nation, we also need to promote the idea that goals obtained by non-democratic means are illegitimate.

I think the real issue is why the 900 foot Jesus (that appeared to Oral Roberts in Oklahoma) didn't stop the bombing.
