I think it is a combination of a cult with an unstable leader and the US Govt. messing with things they shouldn't be.
The US Govt. had no business or right to go to Africa and do anything over there.
It's not our country.
They should have gone to the South American authorities and let them handle the situation.

Jim Jones got too big for his own pants. He started believing he was superior to everyone else. His ego is what killed him.
