Okay let's take them one at a time:
Oklahoma City bombing: No foriegn ties. This was a home grown and entirely internal matter that fell squarely under the juristiction
of US Law.
First WTC attack:Because it failed. Imagine if it had succeeded....
War of 1812: Different times different rules ((Just thought I'd throw that in there.)
Clinton years: He never faced a successfull attack on US soil, however did not effectively go after them . The oppertunity to take Bin
Laden out was under his watch and he refused to take it, which I will always feel was not a wrong decision at the time. In hindsght
however can you still say it was?((I can but I don't put hindsight in the equation unless the other choice was on an equal footing
which given the implications of assassinating someone was a greater risk was not the case.))
