When was the most recent terrorist attack on US soil previous to 9/11?

I consider the USS Cole, the embassies, etc. to be US soil, so the answer would be just a few short years before, during Clinton's term (and directly on US soil, we had the WTC bombing and the OKC bombing).

That said, I find it hard to say the WoT is all that successful when it seems like a lot of sentences handed out for terrorist-related activities are light. I don't feel any safer because of them (if they were such a threat the government should have a strong enough case to put them away for life).

I guess technically some of those are US soil, but you knew what I meant. The Patriot Act wasn't passed to help stop terrorist acts against US interest in foriegn countries.

I agree but don't forget the CIA shootings, as well.
