[quote=paramount]The issues surrounding these atrocities are difficult, I was recalling today that the gov’t used a type of tank to incinerate more than 20 children in Waco, Texas in 1993.[/quote]
“used… to incinerate”
That’s a pretty provocative way to describe the events of that day. Your words ascribe intent. Do you really think the tank driver, or scene commander (imagine if it were YOUR job to get Korich under control), or even – gasp – the evil Janet Reno (cue darth vader breathing here) said “Let’s incinerate 20 kids today! That will be fun and make me feel good about myself when I get home”? I honestly doubt it. And I bet you do too.

Don’t you find it much more likely that a messianic apocalyptic cult helped trigger its own demise when faced with the end of its control?
