Koresh used the kids as human shields. No federal agent started a fire, it was sparked by the flammables Koresh was keeping with him, set by by a tear gas grenade shot in to force them to come out peacefully.

If you believe in law and order, or even sanity, you cannot give a dangerous nut like Koresh a pass. He alone is to blame for his gullible followers' deaths, just like Jim Jones minus the poison Koolaid. In fact, rightwingers who support Koresh just expose how truly twisted and irrational they are. Koresh also shows how dangerous religious extremists can be, especially when you allow them to have weapons and they go insane.
