re: Reno and Waco

JF, you are correct I did mean Waco. I am not defending or justifying Koresh's actions. I have no problem with the fact that Koresh bears responsibility in the matter

But Koresh was a nut. Not a part of our government. I feel that our government had an obligation to those children and that it failed to meet that obligation and in fact endangered the children and contributed to their demise. As for what I would have done, I can't say for sure, since there may have been information of which I was unaware. I can say this though, I would have walked away from the situation rather than endanger those kids. By the way I do seem to recall that Koresh came to town from time to time. Perhaps trying to apprehend him in the town may have been a viable solution.
