<< He stood up on TV with Janet and they both claimed full responsibility for burning those defenseless American kids at Waco. >> For months, the FBI and the ATF begged David Koresh, violent leader of Waco, to release the children unharmed. Koresh's crazy teachings had warned of mass suicide. America, and the world, watched week after week after week of FBI and ATF pleadings with Koresh to resolve this matter in a peaceful way. Koresh had been accumulating illegal weapons of war at Waco. The honest, hard working citizens of the US expects our government to protect us from potentially violent nuts like Koresh and his growing military establishment. Our government miscalculated Koresh's cruelty and insanity the same way our government miscalculated Milosevich. We didn't expect Koresh to go thru with his threats of murdering everyone, just like we didn't expect Milosevic to go ahead with genocide against the Kosovo Albanians. President Clinton and Janet Reno were responsible for pushing Koresh over the edge. Would everyone had died at Waco even if we didn't attack them after months and months of pleading? Noone knows for sure, but I think that sooner or later Koresh would've killed everyone anyway, as he so preached. We've seen many religious sect leaders murder their own people, and there will be more.
