frankham- Thanks, Frank, but I cannot let that statement about Waco stand without a rebuttal. Here is what I said:

"Sorry folks, but when Middle America finds out that Gen Clark is the one who sent 17 tanks into Waco, where over 80 people were killed, he will be toast. "

1) The people in The Branch Dividian compound were Christians, although they may not qualify under your definition. Cult is a loaded term and is usually used by opponants as a term of derision.

2) The people died when the compound caught fire. It happened because the army used flammable CS gas which was ignited by pilot lights in the stoves. Surveillance cameras show clearly that the fire started in the kitchen.

3) The term murder is yours, not mine. I see Waco a tragic accident and a good example of why the U.S. Army is not supposed to be used against civilians.
