I'm not interested in defending Koresh.  However, it was totally unnecessary
for the ATF & Co. to slaughter all those people - especially the children.
I'm still waiting for someone to give me a good reason why they needed to
attack the place as if it were full of armed desperados about to shoot up
the town.  They even came in with armored vehicles!  I think that most of
the fires were started by the gas shells - NOT the BDs as the ATF claimed.
