Accusations Notably, the general society has not been held responsible for the Oklahoma event. There is collective guilt, of course, but it is restricted to one side of the political spectrum. The culprits are not those who produce or sponsor entertainment that glorifies wanton violence, nor those who preach nihilism and moral relativism. It is not disrespect for law but for government that is said to incite the crazies. The shock of this incident is related more to its location than the number of casualties.

These are already in the hands of organizations far more powerful than Timothy McVeigh and his associates. Indeed, the Oklahoma bombing might not actually have been a terrorist act. Terrorism is a means to an end. In Oklahoma City, there were no threats, no demands, and no group seeking credit. The bombing might have been an act of pure madness or revenge.
