This happens far too often. Unfortunately members within our government make too many wrong decisions. This will probably always be this way because we live in an imperfect world and an imperfect system.

I object strongly to the fear mongers who claim that our whole system is riddled with conspiracies to take away our rights or our freedom. OTOH, I do believe that there is a religious fundamentalist conspiracy to make America a fundamentalist state. There is a lot of evidence that this is happening.

We need strong and effective ATF, FBI, CIA, Armed forces and police. We could also use an effective war on drugs that we aren't constantly losing. If anything, the drug problem is getting worse.

I welcome an investigation into Waco and hope that those in charge, who bungled the initial handling of Waco, are held responsible for their actions.
