Up until the day they assaulted the complex with AFVs, I figured the Feds would come up with a good plan to defuse the situation. Koresh was not looking good until that day. He was dragging out the entire stand-off. It seemed to me the Feds would do everything in their power to _not_ look like an army ready to do them in. Boy was I ever wrong.
I agree that it had to end. But it seemed to me there also had to be a better way.
