Of course I will agree with you on this, save one group in Waco that was burned alive. But let's not get started on that. I agree with your statement above.
The Branch Davidian fiasco was a crime against humanity. The Clinton Administration used CS gas against civilians - a gas the US has signed international treaties promising to not use on anyone. They said the reason they did this was to catch David Koresh, a man the government says went jogging every day at 8am...they could've arrested him peacefully when he went jogging but the Clinton group wanted these people dead for some inexplicable reason. They also violated US law by using the US Army on American soil in violation of the Posse Comitatus Act.
Waco was the worst kind of violence against liberty.
But the more and more I hear about Falun Gong makes me wonder yet again why these people are hunted down like criminals, imprisoned, and etc. If they are really misguided people, then why not treat them with compassion?
It amazes me how the PRC is trying to put on a good face for the 2008 Olympics all while threatening Taiwan, India, arresting Baptists, seizing Catholic Bibles, and hounding the FG people. What are people like myself supposed to conclude about the PRC when they say they are a civilized government yet they act like a rogue power in dire need of a spanking?
