How many wars were started because of Oklahoma City?
Well, one possibility is, when the bombings first occured, the FBI did think it was possibly the same terrorists that bombed the WTC a few years before that happened. But the big part had to do with the fact that McVeigh was arrested almost 2hrs after the bombing and once the Feds were sure it was him..well. War averted until 9/11.

Also I think that the act itself, how it was carried out and the lack of safety measures we had at that point, regardless of how many who died was also what changed America.

Remember this, what's always been said is because of the time of day it happened, just think of how many more could have been killed had this been carried out later on in the day.
