    Oh, puh-leeze.

    Not more of the "David Koresh as Martyr" stuff.

    If he had wanted to quit the compound, turn himself 
   in, take on the goverment and WIN (a la Randy Weaver)
   he could have. He already had one of the best lawyers 
   in the country working for him. But Mr. Messiah prefered
   to go out in blaze of glory and take everyone with him.

    If anything was the cause of those 20 deaths, it was
   that ego.

    What a great scenario - certified paranoids armed to the teeth
   with military weapons, each with their own agendas and all 
   believing they are above the law.
    If only they would take on EACH OTHER. Let the KKK shoot it
   out with the Aryan Nations while they face off with the Nation
   of Islam.

   Sure would spice up the 10 o'clock news.............
