<< Great thinking: Suicide By Tank Power. >>

Waco was bungled because the US didn't think that the religious zealots in the compound would kill their own kids.

The US did everything it could to get everyone out safely. They negotiated with the Waco murderers. They spent two months trying to bring things to an end peacefully. This is fully documented. In most countries extremists like Koresh would not be tolerated. In the US we kissed Koresh's ass for two full months before taking action.

In the end, the US screwed up by misjudging the craziness. But, the US didn't screw up as badly as the Waco extremists. The US didn't realize that David Koresh would go thru with his murderous ravings. All one needs to do is read Koresh's statements to realize who was the evil at Waco!
