Branch Davidians and and McVeigh were terrorists just as bad as any other. You have a double standard? Only Arab terrorists are a danger and should be dealth with harshly? Or only those not associated with the right-wing? Some of whom Rush Limbaugh actually defended? On the far left and the far right or in any extremist position advocating violence, it is all equal. Just as all assassins do equal damage and all polluters do equal damage to our society. These are the evils of the world we live in, and they are belong to all nations, all parties, all stripes, many allegiances. Perhaps you hated the Clinton administration so you felt sorry for right-wing terrorists they dealt with? perhaps you listened to the right-wing defending militias who shot at ATF agents? If so, cleanse your mind of those thoughts. They are no different that Al Qaida operatives. Mad men believing in a mad cause and using murder. I have no sympathy for Kasczinski or the Symbionese Liberation Army. You should have no sympathy for phony Jesus or militia terrorists. This is not politics, this is terror. Plain and simple. Janet Reno did the right thing. The same as the FBI and CIA have recently done the right thing in Pakistan. There is no big difference. And if Gore were president, he'd have doen the same thing to Al Qaida and Afghanistan, maybe even to Saddam. Get your mind straight.

Dear Jerrel: You are ABSOLUTELY correct and AS is about as unenlightened as they come. They were never shown to be terrorists of any kind. Even the guns they had were purchased LEGALLY. If they HAD been captured I am not sure they could have even been convicted of anything. In any event, what we SHOULD have done, and this ISNT HINDSIGHT, I said it AT THE TIME, was put a damn fence around the property, post a couple of guards and declare it Davidian Prison or something like that. To carry out an attack EVEN if it hadnt been as violent as it turned out, with women and children inside was just plain STUPID. jdn
