>>Waco reminds me of Kosovo. The FBI and ATF did not expect Koresh to be insane enough to burn his own children, and himself, to death, even though he had preached that philosophy.<<
Gee you're on "full spin," eh?
The people who took Koresh out were just jealous that he had so many women to himself. He had the ideal situtation for men: a bunch of other men swearing off sex with their wives, doing chores around the place, and letting him have all the sex.
They were all in it consensually.
The average number of guns per person was less at the WACO "compound" than the average for the state of Texas, something like 1.5 guns per Branch Davidian and 4 guns on average per Texan.
Let's face it: The government - any government - doesn't like cults with guns, even if those "wacos" stick to themselves and don't hurt anyone. The government officials can't stand the idea that some people would follow a private citizen - and love and obey him - instead of loving and serving the government, as we've all been so faithfully taught to do in our public schools.
