Steve Jackson Games is based in Austin... and they put Kim Il-Sung on a card in Burn In Hell.
It's personal.
(Maybe not, but it makes more sense than anything else I can imagine - other than "they know we know they're bluffing, so they're choosing targets at random"...)

The city is widely regarded as a treasure for music and independent film culture. If Kim Il-Sung wants to destroy American culture, what better targets than places like Austin.
Also, University of Texas is there. It's no Ivy League school, but as one of the oldest universities here in the state it has the facilities and curriculum to easily rival any one of them. Trust me, if you can't find a program you want at UT, then you're probably looking for something pretty damn esoteric - It's one only school I know of that has an aerospace engineering program and a Japanese culture program.
Oh, and Kim Il-Sung? Fuck you. With all my burning hatred. From Texas.

In related news, Austin has declared war on North Korea. An advanced force of Rangers is due to be deployed, supported by divisions from the city's police SWAT.
It is expected to be a short war. Especially given how ludicrously overrarmed city police forces are in the US.
