Gee, everything is Bush's fault. He is just trying to fight the war on terror and not allow another attack like 9/11. All the damn liberals say it was b/c of oil. The families of the ones killed on 9/11 may disagree. I DO!!

I would say it was the Branch Dividians fault when they machine gunned Federal Agents serving a lawful warrant.
The Branch Dividians were given many opportunities to let the women and kids out of the compound. They were given many opportunities to surrender. They refused every single one.
Law Enforcement didn't use weapons against the Branch Dividians that were banned by the Geneva Convention.
The Branch Dividians committed suicide by putting the kids in buried school bus, dousing the entire compound with gasoline and lighting it up.
Personally, I think it was poorly handled. The government should have just given the warrant to local law enforcement and arrested sundry Branch Dividians when they came into town. But, Bill Clinton didn't make those decisions. The ATF and, ultimately, Janet Reno did.
I have never heard any government official express any pride about the mass suicide at the Branch Dividian compound.
However, it was the lunacy of David Koresh that caused the mass suicide at Waco. He bears the blame. May God have mercy on his soul.

"Those kids" weren't the ones held up in that compound claiming to be the second coming of Jesus Christ, and stashing weapons to use against the agents outside. "Those kids" were indeed innocent victims, but the ones at fault for their deaths were not the agents, but the adults inside that chose to keep them there as opposed to allowing them to go free and live.
It was a tragedy - no denying that. And it is not the proudest moment in the Clinton's Administration. But I would take Clinton as president any day over the current monkey in office right now. He had proven that if given the opportunity, he would take over the country and become the dictator for life.
The parents of those 32 kids are the ones that are responsible for the deaths of the kids - not the government. They were given every opportunity to get the kids out - the agents pleaded with them to allow the kids to go. The adults refused. As a parent, I can tell you that I would do whatever it took to allow my child to live - even if it meant separating her from me. The adults were sick idiots that were so brainwashed that they put their needs before their childrens'. THAT is not a parent!

Don't get me wrong, I'm not a Clinton fan. But, the weapons weren't banned, or used against the children.

Sure it is Bush's fault, Neocon. You did not do your homework before asking this ignorant question, none other than evil George W. Bush was a governor of Texas at the time of Waco incident.

Clinton killed unintentionally 32 kids while fighting against religious extremists.
Bush killed 6000 American men, women, and children (9/11+Iraq war) so he could get a giant handout from the oil corporations for invading Iraq and stealing its oil.
Tell me which is worse?
