David Koresh, a foul mass-murdering madman, suckered the feds into overreacting and providing him cover for igniting his insane private Armageddon. The feds, under the wrteched Reno, deserve contempt for the heavy-handed and foolish way they reacted. But in the final analysis, the blood-guilt is on Koresh's demon claws.

David Koresh, a foul mass-murdering madman, suckered the feds into overreacting and providing him cover for igniting his insane private Armageddon. The feds, under the wrteched Reno, deserve contempt for the heavy-handed and foolish way they reacted. But in the final analysis, the blood-guilt is on Koresh's demon claws. (1)David Koresh died in the seige. You have no proof that he murdered anyone, let alone "mass-murdered" anyone. The facts don't indicate that he murdered anyone at all.
(2) Its not logical to assert Reno and the Feds were heavy-handed but then dump all the guilt on Koresh. The Cato Institute's analysis indicates otherwise.
(3) Your obvious hatred of Koresh may be clouding your views. Many of us are able to separate our dislike for his ideologies and are concerned with the rights of our fellow citizens.
Its unknown which of us will wash up as victims on the tides of changing political opinion, and it behooves us all to watch out for the rights of everyone--even those we hate.
