Some people are anti-government or anarchists. They would prefer to see this country more like Nigeria or Somalia or Algeria, where the rule of power and violence rules.

To those types, a nut case like Koresh could do no wrong, but our government is condemned and blamed for everything.

<But some people seem to think he was some sort of martyr standing up for religious
freedom. Needless to say the religious freedom clause does not include liberty to stage
your own live-ammo sunday school rendition of Armeggedon.>

You are ignorant. read your Constitution. It gives each of us the right to pursue our own lifestyle, so long as we don't infringe others liberties. It was the government you stand up for that infringed his rights.
