While I don't agree with the former...
..I hope for your sake that the waterfront you speak of is not the harbor.
It is exactly that comfort level that you speak from that will be taken advantage of when the next attack hits.
I'm safe because they cannot reach me. I'm certain that everyone in OKC and NYC thought so.

That isn't what people in NYC thought
People in NYC, when they thought about it, thought that nobody would dare because the US response would be so overwhelming. Which is part of the reason that I am personally so pissed off that this administration got sidetracked with politics as normal, and proceeded to focus on the side-show in Iraq, to the detriment of finishing the real job.

A false hope in any case.
Terrorists do not value lives, not their own, not their countrymen. If the U.S. was guranteed to kill tens of thousands of their own countrymen in retaliation it would not deter them. That would just improve the supply of willing terrorists commitmed to their cause.
These people serve Turth, and no one who serves Truth, whether it be Islamic Truth, Christian Truth, or The Great Comet, can be expected to act rationally or with any consideration whatever for human life.
Truth is absolute and immutable, and all else is irrelevant.
In truth, to call Servants of Truth pigs is to insult pigs, which are a lot more rational and probably cleaner.

That's obvious..now
BTW a correction. Pigs have to be dirtier. They're unclean - we know this because the Bible tells us so. :-P

No, they are considered unclean for a very specific reason.
As most primitive rural people know, pigs for some reason consider human excrement a delicious treat and will come running to get it. To quote an Indonesian farmer, "What we shit here they eat in the city".

Sort of like Limbaugh's audience, you think?

OKC was done by a home-grown terrorist
and was never considered a "target" by the local population for anything. I mean, other than the federal building there, what can you strike at that will draw the attention of the country? The state capital while in session? Anything else? I can't think of any other choices. The locals probably didn't think "I'm safe because they cannot reach me" but more along the lines of "I'm safe because there's nothing here to target".
Whereas NYC stands as Exhibit A for everything that "The Great Satan" represents to the Islamic world - capitalism, arrogance, self-promotion, a regular Sodom and Gamorrah, etc. etc. etc.

And a large and powerful Jewish community.
To quote an Egyptian school girl on 9/11, "I hope there were a lot of jews in those buildings".
Of course one victim of the attack was a vault full of priceless antique Islamic prayer rugs, but those who don't value human life can't be expected to value art.

Still, they value the relics of their religion
I mean, when we bomb a mosque, the hew and cry is that we're "defiling the institutions of Islam" or some such tommyrot.
Hypocrites are hypocrites, no matter what their "religious affiliation"
