At the first two, visitors can visualize the bad guys, but the Oklahoma City Memorial does a remarkably poor job at contextualizing the attacks. The site is tremendously heartbreaking, but you get no sense that McVeigh and Nichols had right-wing connections. They read like isolated crazy people who just wanted to kill innocent women and children. You see the McVeigh and Nichols as two evil men, not as representatives of a larger terrorist movement.

That's becasue they were two evil (deluded) men, and not representatives of a larger terrorist movement. That's because there IS no larger right-wing terrorist movement.

Actually, it’s also because there is ample evidence that McVeigh and Nichols were associated with a foreign-run Islamist conspiracy and the government at the time didn’t want to call attention to this.
