The image that sticks with me is when the agent is on the roof and a Davidian is firing from the room below him. You can see the shots coming through the roof as the agent rolls trying to avoid them. These weren't peaceful people that were being picked on by the government. Bottom line, for me anyways, there were dangerous people with weapons firing on federal agents, while holding children captive. I think it was the right decision to try and use force to bring the standoff to an end. It's just a shame that Koresh and his followers decided the best end was to ignite the entire building and kill everyone inside, children included. My heart goes out for the children that died that day. But I loathe Koresh for forcing them to die. As far as no evidence of child abuse, what do you call having sex with 12 and 13 year old girls? That's child abuse in my book! First person accounts show it to be true. Show me some concrete evidence that points to the ATF being at fault, and not something that some conspiracy theorist has put together. I believe that if you look at the cold, hard, facts (without the "government is out to get them" spin) that it's obvious what really happened that day. A group of rogues held off federak agents for as long as they could and decided to commit suicide and murder rather than give up.
