Even in hind sight it is still hard to believe that in my country, men, women and children were executed for basically following a religious belief not sanctioned by the government. While I personally think Koresh was a screwball, the constitution gave him the right to be one, and, in light of the government’s actions in dealing with him, and his followers, every free man and woman needs to reflect on what might lie in our immediate future should our leaders decide to use military might to tame us.

That's just a great summation of exactly what I think of Waco visa-vis our rights and the violation of theirs.

...And the idea many conservative have, that the military won’t do in their fellow countrymen, needs to be reconsidered. They might be right, but they shouldn’t count on it. Who writes their pay checks? That’s who they’ll serve.
