I just saw a replay of MSNBC's 'Witness to Waco' yesterday. On the first day of the episode, Koresh called 911 and proceeded to talk theology with the sheriff on the phone.

Dude had every opportunity to surrender but his megalomania and delusions of messianic grandeur wouldn't allow that. There's a bit in the bible about how God would surround his precious ones with a wall of fire to protect them. Wouldn't surprise me a bit if that loony tune took steps to make sure a wall of flame would be what happened.

What, society was supposed to allow dude to set himself up with multiple child brides while arming himself with beau coup illegal weapons in some walled compound?

Give it a rest on Waco already.
